Next message: Eric Thompson: "lv-ab: Nav Lights"
Ken,
I have never seen these lights either, almost exactly the
reason to use them - it WILL get attention! Also my
sidelights are 'grandfathered' on the hull style and at that
low mounting point not very visible. Some have suggested I
simply disable them and replace with pulpit mounted
sidelights. My thinking is this masthead light system will
give me so much more visibility on the open sea that the
weight aloft will not bother me. After all I already must
install an anchor light there, the weight of these fixtures
is small, and I will use aluminum tubing for the '1 meter'
spacing. As for mast height I have a short mast, only 40
feet above deck level, not much for a 35 foot boat.
