Apart from the nav lights we have the problem of the flags, important in some
countries. I wonder if we could have a small mast on the WW hull with the nav
lights, the flags (except national which remains a problem) and maybe GPS
antenna and so on. This mast we should be able to rotate 180 ° when shunting.
Sure the proa brings up unusual problems !

Hi Tony & Al Sorry to butt in here, but the nav lights could be easily handled with two sets of hull lights, one on each end of each hull, appropriately...
Jim said I think Rob recommended that the forward rudder should always be lifted. Not at all. The forward rudder can stay down, unless you are racing. The ...
I'm not up on lights, but couldn't one just do masthead lights that come around with the spar, the spar does rotate doesn't it? Port and starboard seems a...
Hi Connie :^) Yes, I'm sure that would work (assuming the electrics will accommodate the swiveling) although there are jurisdictions where tricolour or...
I don't think the rudder is to be lifted at any stage when sailing? There is a need for both rudders in the water to provide balance and leeway functions. It...
How is the sparhead issue different than on any rotating rig, where sparhead lights are in stacked sets with switches. Is downwind work asumed to be with the...

Hi all, Couldn´t the nav lights be mounted on a pole on each end of the leeward hull (cannot be windward because they would be blanketed by the sails). I ...
G'day, Sture's suggestion is the only one that would work, so far. A mast head tricolour needs a non rotating tube inside the mast. This is possible, but ...

... Right ... This way your sails will cover your lights for the boats to you lee. Any sailboat can have a "floodlight on the sails". They don't do it, as you...
I would think that the reason for some boats having masthead lighting is because of the effect of ocean swell hiding nav lights on hulls sometimes. Better to...
Well the 180 thing isn't a problem since the spar moves in the right direction for the one the boat is now headed in. The 90 degree thing is a problem of...
