Sailing at night is a wonderful experience, especially if you can do it when the moon is full. You could always get a remote light that would extend above the dinghy.

   don't sail at night or in reduced visibility conditions!

     Thanks for sharing. This is very intriguing. All this time, we have
     been hoisting on to the forward deck. However, doesn't it block the
     navigation light at night? I would be uncomfortable sailing with the
     stern light not visible. How is that resolved?

     >>> Just wondering if anyone had any innovative approaches to
     install mechanisms to carry an inflatable. We have tried perching it
     on the swim deck and carrying on the foredeck while sailing and also
     when we are away but neither is great so we just tow it and leave it
     in the water to gather critters. I would not want a full davit
     system that would overwhelm our 320, so am wondering about simple
     systems and something that would minimize cutting/drilling holes. I
     think this may have already been addressed in earlier chats, but
     just wondering.
