Let there be light

I've got some nav lights now, all wired up and they go!

I got the LED ones, which are super bright, and they run off a twelve volt rechargeable battery. I knocked up a little box for the battery from marine ply, which is hidden well forward; and I put in a bakelite light switch, which is the sum of my electronics board. Wiring works, but I'll not bother to get it tidy till I've decided how to fit out the interior.

I also made the rather simple but snazzy mount for the stern light out of mahogany.


Interior lights will be battery run LEDs when I get around to it.
