Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

I got to get up to there and have a look. My gas line in the yard blew out about 12 days ago. I've been struggling here with that and a few other things.

The bow light is a red and green bulb like a flashlight. I went to a sailboat dealer and put two clear bulbs that fit in it.

The taillights look like a red and white go back there.

There are quite a few 1959 Herters Flying Fish out there when you start looking. I have one myself.

John, I noticed the difference in the two bow plates after I e-mailed the pic. My guess is the lenses are the same. Tom
