I just read an interesting article in Practical Sailor on red vs. white lights and night vision. It reminded me to ask a question of those more experienced about night racing. I have only done this a few times and found upwind steering at night to be a real challenge. I normally steer by the genoa telltales. In light, shifting winds which we inevitably encounter at the darkest hours, it is especially important to steer well to keep the boat moving, but it is hard. We used a hand held spotlight to periodically check the telltales, but that destroys night vision. Are there better solutions? Thanks- Dave
