This solution has probably been worked out and already adopted by many of the people reading this. I will, however, feature it in case it is helpful to anyone.
It is often useful to hang a light, or other kit under the sprayhood or other canvas elsewhere on board.
Magnetic hooks are readily available on Amazon and, when combined with a ferrous ‘mate’, can be temporarily added under a canvas covering and positioned to suit.
Cheap, LED lamps can be attached in a similar way.
Clearly, this can also be applied domestically under a patio umbrella or in a tent for example.
Just a simple idea …
Surprisingly simple. Surprisingly effective. Surprisingly short. Surprisingly from you, Nick.
Not surprisingly, this comment is from a short, simple, ineffective individual. Thanks for your input, as usual, Carl !
Neat idea, will try it. Thank you
Thanks for your comment, Bernie. It’s not actually dissimilar to an earlier technical post – https://hejira-sailing.com/cockpit-lights/
