Bruce, the plastic tri light lens pretty much disintegrated but it was 5 years older than yours! I think the regs say an all round light installed where it can best be seen so there is some flexibility but remember a mast head light illuminates the top rigging too. At night in an anchorage where there aren’t other lights like a city background, there is no mistaking a yacht with a decent mast head light, even with a clear night sky and stars. I have seen solar garden lights mounted on spreaders before too but that isn’t a great solution on many levels. Maybe go up and see what yours looks like and then decide what you want to do or stand way back with some good binoculars. Do it once, do it right! Len
