Let there be LIGHT !
Frank & Cory A Mac 25 is a perfect starter boat. The price is usually right and they are SIMPLE to use and understand. In a stock version , two lines make them go (jib and main) ... that's it. Once you master them, then you can trade up and start adding things like boom vangs, Barber hauls, whisker poles, travelers, and genoa tracks. Their simplicity does have a downside and lighting is part of that. Your forward running light is a single Perko brand fixture with a red and green lens. The stern light is the same type of fixture with a single clear lens. There are two white lights on the mast, a single running light for when you are under power and deck light for when are working on the deck at night. There is NO ANCHOR LIGHT unless a previous owner has added one. The original battery compartment is poorly designed and located. Maybe you'll be lucky and someone else will have addressed these issues before you. Many people just use these boats during the day and don't worry with running lights, or carry a set of battery powered emergency lights. Let us know how you are doing. There are many helpful and knowledgeable people on this site. Ol' Dave
