This summer I am probably not going to have an electical system beyond something for starting the engine. I was wondering about kerosene lanterns in the rigging for running lights. Once the electrical system is up and running I figure the kerosene would make a nice backup plus they look kinda cool. Does anyone have a source for these?

Classic Marine would be my starting point. www.classicmarine.co.uk I think.
The thing is, I've never seen oil-fired lights small enough to not look ridiculous on a boat the size of a triton. They're all sized for 50 footers, it seems. If you find some small ones, let me know.
As an alternative, just to get you by, those battery powered flashlight-looking things they sell for small boats are not so expensive.
