...The salt spray stung my face. The hulls vibrated and groaned. This was speed. Six inches above the water, six feet out from the side of the boat, I had the most fantastic view as the hulls of my Hobie 16 sliced through the clear blue sea leaving perfectly cut water closing in behind them. This is catamaran sailing. Exhilarating, fast and furious. Another small wave, adjust the tiller round up slightly, lean back and up we go, yes clear airtime again and crash we come back down, the lee hull submerges but pulls out in a flash and we carry on as before. As we come into the surf close to shore we ride down the wave front, pull hard on the tiller and flare off the top. Pure adrenaline.
I have just come back from my hols. Two weeks in the sun and sailing a free Hobie 16 was daily entertainment.
These catamarans are built for the surf...

...plastic a tradtional hurricane lantern and comes in Eurohike Green!
But at £16 it is very affordable and will do an adequate job to shining a bit of light on a situation. Powered by 4 D batteries that fit easily. The battery life is long as LEDs are not really power hungry and I would imagine that with average use, most people will get a full season out of one set of batteries.
All in all and affordable basic lighting solution...
