[electricboats] Recommendations for a windmill/charge controller?

Hello!

I have a 30' Rawson Ketch based in Bellingham, WA. Thunderstruck 10k and 800ah 48v traction with 800ah 12v house.

I'm interested in finding a good windmill for some assistance in charging while at anchor (can they be safely run while underway?)….

I have a victron 48v solar charge controller (but I struggle to find any good spot on this boat to locate panels). Can I use this to charge from a windmill? It seems like most systems are sold as a complete package and designed to charge 12v house banks. I'd like to charge the traction battery directly. I can charge my 48v from the 12v using the buck converter or the inverter and ac charger but it's not very efficient.

Any recommendations about windmills?
