Re: Light switches

["Tom Parkinson" <prknsn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Because our boats are less than 39.4 feet long the "steaming light" you
mention is not necessary.

All we have to have when powered are the red/green sidelights (separate or
combined) and the all-round white light (and turn off the white stern light
used in the sailing configuration)

However, that still adds up to a bunch of switches...

Sailing: red/green sidelights + white stern light
Powered: red/green sidelights + all-round white light
Anchored: all-round white light
