    Maybe we could work on a group rate. There are at least a thousand ariel boats
    and a lot of tritons ensigns and so on with all their associations and take the price down.

    I replaced all my navigational lights with Perko lights. They are identical to the original navigational lights, with updated lighting assemblies internally. The price might be kinder as well. Let me know if anyone needs the Perko numbers. As I recall, they are shown in the West catalog.

    The sidelights are in the current West catalog at hte lower left corner of page 696. I don't recall whether the dimensions are 4 1/4 long or 5 1/2 " long but you can probaably figure that out. Perko No 0955DP0CHR or 1264DP0CHR. I think I used the 0965DP0CHR on the same page for the stern light - although it does not have the "wings".. For the mast I used the combvination Deck/Masthead light (West catalog page 702) Forespar #132000 The masthead light, same page, Davis#3310 in lower left corner.

    I used the Davis light because I do a considerable amount ofr anchoring out and the low power drain and automatic on/off is very advantageous. For evening sailors in crowded waters, a brighter masthead light might be more advantageous.

    Hope this helps. You might want to get a Perko Catalog. They might have some lights that are not in the West catalog. Let me know if you need any other info.
