[C38] Deck and Steaming Light

[Charles]

I am on my third light.   First two were the expensive.  Third was a 
cheap import that has lasted just as long as the others.   The plastic 
needs to be flexible to conform to the mast, but that seems to allow it 
to become brittle in sun and seas.  I think my spinnaker halyards are 
the culprit.
