[Zeisler, Rick]

New to the list from florida....

Say did your rhodes have both lights on mast or did you modify. My 1982
only has running light on mask...

Jim:

I launched Opus a week ago Tuesday and had a nice sail that afternoon
and
also last Sunday.  A bit too windy for me today but managed to find some
things to clean up and spend time on the boat in her slip.  I managed to
take down the mast for the first time last week in order to repair my
antenna, the 3' section of metal whip came off, now my vhf reception is
a
lot better.  I also took time to figure out how my mast head light
works.  I
found two lamps in the fixture atop the mast.  One is a bright lamp that
comes on when I switch the "mast head" on that has a forward throw of
light. 
The second lamp, that has an aft throw of light, comes on when I flip on
the
"anchor light".  This means that if I want to have my running lights on
and
not a 360 degree mast light I should only turn on running lights and
mast
head.  I can also turn on both mast head and anchor light without
running
lights to serve as a 360 degree anchor light.
