"2. My leading choice for such usage would be a used 39' Krogen. Anyone have an alternate candidate they think would be better suited?"
Can't get much better than that. Steady, stable, ecconomical. Only down side is speed.
"3. Is it safe to undertake such travel plans with a single diesel engined trawler and basic mechanical knowledge?"
Done all the time. Just make sure you have spare filters, belts, hoses and other repair supplies.
"7. What exactly is a Genset? If it is simply a generator for use aboard a yacht when the main engine(s) are off, why isn't it simply called a generator?"
Potatoes/Potahtoes
"10. How common is the "rogue wave" experience offshore?"
A 6 footer in a set of 3 footers is a rogue. Happens all the time. The ones you're worried about aren't all that common. More likely you'll get into an entire seastate that you won't be happy about. Remember to consider the swell height on top of which wind waves stand.
