Hi,
Duplicate lights, manually operated. Switch on the pedestal. We put
red/green lights x2 on the lee hull and extra red and green lights on
the ww hull side . Accessory mast wont work for tricolor because the rig
shades it for the lee side. Steaming/anchor light is on the ww top.
I would like to have a wind vane self steering, but havent found a way
to do it. It is a difficult one. I guess we must forget the electricity
free wind vane. Any ideas ???
