Hi Connie, I like the idea of simplicity, but I'm still stuck on what the white light does. Is it just a stern light or is it an all around white light? If it's just a stern light, what do you do when motoring and if it's an all around, what do you do when sailing, not motoring?
If you were going to put nav lights on your M15, what would you choose? Do you think the masthead light and wires add much weight to the mast?
