South Coast Sailboats
Exterior lighting
2 spreader lights for the deck switched at the main electrical
panel.
12V switched light in the anchor box (on cabin lights circuit)
provides light at night when mooring and fooling around with the
anchor or docking lines.
12V switched light located in the center of the popup hatch
(provides light inside the bow when closed, and lights up the
entire front deck when hatch is open at night.
Red and green navigation lights were moved from the low sides
of the cotpit walls to a single hang point on the underside of
the pulpit rail (this keeps them clear of when we lay the mast
down and use the pulpit rail to support the mast. I remember getting
several complaints from power boaters, that they could not see
the port or starboard lights until they were almost on top of
us. Again since I do a lot of nighttime sailing, this had to change.
Standard Stern, Steaming and Anchor lights
We added one additional light at top of the mast to light
up the wind direction indicator.
