Got it...we are blessed with an elevated level of power and sail expertise up 
here in Buzzards Bay.   

But like you said.   When I head West into LIS.   Whoa.   All light 
configuration bets are off and there is traffic of all sorts...

Agreed, but for our night races there are never more than a few
other boats not racing, which would be weekend warriors that I am sure don’t
even know anything beyond red and green anyways. Very little commercial
traffic, not like LIS. 



But you are correct, it is not kosher. I don’t think anyone
would be running around with anchor lights where you sail, where it could easily
be confused with barge traffic or whatever.  What really confuses things is
when some guys light their steaming lights so they can see their teltales.

I
beg to differ.



Anchor light being used to light a windex is confusing and against the
regs.   Windex makes a light for that purpose.



A tricolor (with no deck lights) also lights the windex within the lighting
regs.



What about boats not in your fleet?



Lights have meaning.



Forgive my push back on this but I have been part of too many situations where
these seemingly innocent configurations have or could have had consequences.

We also use them on Night races to light the Windex. As long as
you know everyone in the fleet is using them for that purpose it is not
confusing.  I don’t know what other boats think, but there are usually not
too many of them.

some people
use the anchor light to light the windex.  You can buy a light that sits
on top of the mast and shines up for that purpose.  I'm waiting for the
solar powered version!



 





I find it
hard to judge distance from boats use a masthead light.  Maybe that's just
me.

Steaming light with tri-color...

Nav lights with no steaming light (when under power)



Wrong. wrong Wrong.  



Very confusing when two fleets encounter each another at 2:00am (which happens
surprisingly often).

Exactly right Dennis.



And if motoring, burning three or four lamps is usually not a problem. Hence the
desire to go LED for a masthead tri-light and the practicality of keeping lower
lights as incandescent.



You might be astonished at the number of our American cousins who race around
here at night burning every navigation lamp they can, masthead tri-colour,
forward steaming, red, green and after steaming light. Very common on the
overnight races.

If you are
motoring, you should not use the tricolor at the masthead.  The steaming
light must be above the red/green nav lights.  Therefore you must use the
deck or hull mounted nav lights when motoring.

Hi Kurt,

Not
everyone is using a tri-colour at the masthead but it is practical in that,
when sailing, there is nothing to obscure the lower lights and one lamp can
draw a lot less power than three or four lamps. 

Note, if
you are motoring then you still need the forward steaming light, etc.

(around page 80) if you're interested.

there a reason every one is using tri colors at the mast head? Is this in
addition to the regular side lights and stern light

Hello Alex, 

I am replacing the cabin
lights with this one from Marinebeam: 
http://store.marinebeam.com/bayonet-ba15s-15-led-bayonet-mini-tower/ It̢۪s 
just bright enough.  I tried the 18
and 2d 21 led models too.  They’re a bit much.. The 18 is googood as a
reading light, the 21 is the master blaster at the chart table. 

My sternlight burned-out
about a month ago.   I did not bother looking for a replacement bulb at
Marinebeam.. 

I bought this for 16
bucks instead 
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0BPZ1U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
 

My original fixture̢۪s
lens s was all crazed and the housing was getting brittle…  Now itÃ’s
all l fresh and nnew.  It’s well done too watertight ht with O-rings
and extremely bright as it is a 12 led array. 

For the tricolor I
splurged a little.. 

http://www.westmarine.com/buy/misea--led-navigation-light-tri-color-anchor-lights--P013836226


It‬™s a bit pricey but
it’s the cat’s a$$.  Sup.  Super bright, high quality
machined metal housing, no interference with the VHF, automatic anchor light,
and a killer white light illuminating the Windex.  You get what you pay
for I guess..  

I also have a remote
control battery powered LED bar light for the engine compartment.  It's
about 20 bucks at Walmart. It's a peel and stick installation and the light
switch is also peel and stick.  No wiring. Simple and perfect for the
engine compartment, the remote switch is nice.  I am planning on buying
more of those
