I have a Hobie 16 that I am looking to put some running lights on temporarly for evening sailing. I would like to attach them to the bottem of the forestay, but I have not seen anything out there yet to do that. Does anybody know where I might be able to pick something up like that? I have looked in Murrys Catalog, and did not see what I was looking for. I have also checked Boat US and West Marine.
I already have access to a clamp on White light for the stern.

I would also like the lights to be battery operated off of a couple of D cells.

I also posted this in the General Discussion forum

I always use glow-sticks and maybe a flashlite or two.

I attach them with zip ties and cut them off once I am done.

How good do they stay on when you accidently submarine the hull during a run and how far away can you see the glow-sticks?

Part of the evening will be spent racing, that is why I am asking.

TheSkier-
That is something that I hadn't thought about much. If there is a little breeze, we should be in by dusk, but it is something to consider if the air is lighter (of course Lake St. Clair never has little to no air on a summer evening )

I think that having a flashlight to shine at the sails will be sufficient. This isn't something I would want to mess with in a breeze, but in those cases we will be in before dusk.

You know that duct tape the Government told you to buy?

Use it to duct tape your flashlight to your boat. (Red Green will be proud of you!)
