Bough some xmas lights the other day. Just the plain white ones. They give a nice warm glow and you can move them around to find the best effect. Only £1.99 for 19 bulbs. They draw 17 watts in total.

Best place for those is on the Christmas tree at the top of your mast.

Got pretty coloured lights on that. Might put them on the forestay to light up the nodding reindeer on the foredeck though.
Had to move the snow blower, neighbours in the marina got a bit funny about it.

Re: xmas lights and ColRegs
To save me looking it up, could someone remind me of the correct lights to be displayed by a sleigh, and whether it is considered a vessel constrained by its down draught, please ?

Rudolph's glowing red nose is usually considered sufficient.

Re: xmas lights and ColRegs
actually the whole kit and caboodle will be unlit in order to try and avoid a spot check under the as yet only proposed drinking whilst in charge of fictional vehicle regulations 2008 ( an amendment to the Myhthical Creatures Misuse Act 1848)
based on UK figures alone at around 21 million households at 25 cl glass of sherry per household, santa consumes 525000 litres of sherry in the uk alone
unde the prposed regs this would be several times over the limit
even allowing for the fact that the de facto navigator is a reindeer
it is believed the 21 million carrots are shared out between the team and may not impare rudolph's passage plan which is done in november.

Strictly speaking, doesn't that mean that Rudolph should fly with his head turned to the left? And which reindeer has a green nose? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, a green tail light could cause some confusion amongst other sleigh drivers, but as they're all in the pub on Christmas Eve, it hardly matters

That goes against what I saw on TV last night.
3 reindeer have visited Cornwall as part of a Christmas promotion and the presenter said that reindeer are unusual in that both sexes lose their antlers.
It was too warm for them down here and they are returning to their home in Scotland today. They did, however, appreciate the quality of Cornish lichen, their favourite food.
