Thanks Gordon. Looks interesting.

I had an idea...some feelback would be great. I had a low-draw anchor light that we've been hanging from the boom when anchored and simply stowing when underway. It's got a photosensor so is automatic...you know the $40 one from Boatersworld. It's brightness is acceptable but now that it quit working, I want to make a replacement. I was thinking of a really damn bright light (i.e. so even the crazy weekend powerboaters from Miami will see it)...a battery sized to match (12hoursX draw/H) & stored in a cockpit lazarette & coupled with a small solar panel. That way I can have a bright anchor-light while not drawing power from my house batteries. Any suggestions/comments? Thanks. Glenn. s/v Seawing www.seawing.net "Wayne.B" wrote in message ...

It is an absolute requirement that they must stay lit until 1/2 hour after the last pub closes. :-) There should also be an owner sensor that will cause it to start blinking if you get to within 400 yards of it in your dinghy. |
