[quote=MN3][quote=damonAdmin][quote=Kevin219][quote]We even used to have the "Dead Elvis Regatta" with the start at moon-rise in August. Good Times.[/quote] did you have to worry about navigation lights?[/quote] We didn't, but remember this is not a really large or busy lake (especially at night) and with the full moon on a clear night you can see clearly. Sometimes we've used red and green glow sticks taped to the shrouds, but not every time.[/quote] coast guard regs don't require nav lights on non powered vessels under 21'. BUT it is a bit dangerous to "drive without headlights on at night" esp if your where a power boat may go. some power boaters fly at night relying on their radar... when i find myself out after sunset.... What i do is wear a very bright led headlamp, upside down on my head, light shining up at my sails for others to see me. I also recently found some good led red and green battery powered glowsticks (from publix supermarket of all places). Walmart sells a crappy one as well. I hang these off my side stay chain plates below the deck line. regular glowsticks have a very limited range (you can only see them under 60' but the power ones can be seen for a few 100'. the most important thing to keep in mind is DON"'T LOOK AT THE LIGHTS. it will kill your night vision.
