They displayed it an the Annapolis boat show. My boat is wired for separate switches, and I prefer simple over complex, so I went with the two bulb unit. It added about 3 inches to my air draft. I forget the price difference, but it was about $30 one way or the other. Joel On Thu, Dec 8, 2016

I am not sure if you know, but Marinebeam came up with an interesting LED bulb (and enclosure, if you want to) for the top of the mast. It is a combination bulb that is all around white (for anchor light) or a tri-colour, segment light (white/green/red). It is operated with one switch (first

One of my young kids (at the time) uncleated the roller furler line on my 34 while sitting at the dock. A few days later my genoa unfurled during a storm and the sheet literally ripped one of the stays out of the mast. Even back then, Navtec had already gone to the new head system, so I bit

So for 25+ year old boats that are not racing why do we replace rod with new rod rather than with wire? I recall from somewhere that the cost of one rod is about the same as traditional wire for an entire boat. What am I missing? Mike From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On

Hi Pete, I got the estimate on a complete overhaul of my rigging, standing and running last week from, I suspect, the same rigger. Breathtaking is one way of describing it… Anyway, you may be able to just re-head the existing rod which we did back in 2000. But I suspect that your rigger will
