Hi, I'm new to the forum and to sailing. I purchased a Typhoon Weekender in Fall 2024 and am currently preparing her for the summer season. As part of my preparations, I’m reviewing the required position lights (port, starboard, stern, and mid-mast). It seems the only light I’m missing is the anchor light—a 360-degree white light mounted at the masthead, which is only needed when anchored at night.
Has anyone successfully installed an anchor light on a Typhoon? If so, how did you do it, and what hardware did you use? I’m principally concerned about interfering with the halyards and masthead sheaves. Also, if anyone thinks an anchor light might be unnecessary for a Typhoon, I’d appreciate that feedback as well. I plan to sail regionally across the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario, where I imagine having an anchor light could be useful.
Thanks in advance for your insight!
