We’ve just got an anchor light up there at present and obviously we can’t run 
our anchor light while sailing. I thought about getting a tricolor, but 
honestly I am a little leery of other ships only being able to see one light at 
a time - it’s probably completely unfounded, but I feel like being able to see 
the bow light and stern light (if beam-on or aft) might make a difference. 
Obviously in heavy seas you might not see low-mounted running lights at all, so 
there the tricolor is obviously superior…
