Anchor light

There was no anchor light when I got her. According to the law, I'm not required to put one on. That would be small consolation as some motorboat grinds us to chum, now would it.

The light is from boaterbits on EBay. The grey bracket is the masthead with the sheeves for raising and lowering the main sail

The rest was all custom made. The two supports are flattened spreaders from the standing rigging, ground to an angle and curved to fit the masthead. Took forever to get the curves right.

The wiring was another challenge, threading the wire through a mast filled with hard flotation foam.. Fun fun fun.

Anyway it turned out pretty good, I think.
