If your on the desktop version, there is a icon, with at @and a person. If you type jen in, jenlyn comes up but so does nutter. Why I don't know, I'm guessing he clicked or pressed on nutter by mistake. Easily don and a simple explanation. Now naughtyfox your not so ignorant.

Thanks for the replies fellas - it's appreciated. I think I'll get a combined unit as suggested just so as to give a nod , or at least make an attempt to be seen - that way I can utilise a wire I had put in for an outside light rather than ripping the panelling off.

Stick it up on a gert big aerial pole when you needed to on the waterways tony mentioned and you'd very nearly comply bar for a stern lamp. The rest of the time it would serve as John said and not get cloberised on a bridge.

Not trying to put you off in any way, ..... however. The more rural the environment the more effective crappy lights will be. Near an urban area with all the light pollution, the difficulty of picking out important lights from the shore/glare/cars/traffic lights/shop signs etc has to be experienced to be understood. In these sort of areas you want good lights. The crappy ones as a nod are fine as long as you understand their limitations.

If it was a bit darker, so difficult to make out which end is the bow the red port light is very visible, so the vessel bows must be to the left of the picture,and so the vessel is heading from right to left in the photo, what more could I want to know???

You might want to get some idea of it's heading, which in turn could help you with distance off, if you were both in a river estuary such as the lower Trent and Ouse, and the upper Humber with a deep water channel that wanders about like a drunk going home from the pub. A lot of information can be gleaned from knowing the compass arc the heading of what appears to be an approaching vessel must fall within from whichever one of the ten-point red or green lights or the twelve-point white are visible , and relating that to the inbound and outbound, mark to mark bearings of the deepwater channel markers.

Cant see the point myself, a head light for cruising at night is enough. When have you ever cruised at night and had another boat behind you? Nav lights are really of more use to boats coming towards you, lights on the stern of vessels are white but the red and green lights will give you an indication of the position of a boat coming towards you. You should pass red on red. Phil
