Special QRA Meeting


8/24/2007
A few things to keep in mind now that we're getting into the fall and darker mornings: Lights! -  All boats should have a red/green bow light and a white stern light.  Lights should be used from sunrise up until 30 minutes after the sun in up, and at sunset a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the sun going down.  Lights should be used in the rain and fog as well.  YOU CANNOT LAUNCH IN THE DARK WITHOUT LIGHTS!!  It's just too unsafe. The QRA does not supply lights for club boats anymore.  Members should buy their own lights

These are a popular choice, with the red/green fitting into the bow clip and the white in the stern (without a stern clip you’d need to prop the light in the hull)

Also a popular choice, with suction cup mounting:
