"Night sails"?  That was interesting enough to Google: 

"The RS:One Class features a new, attractive and dynamic course format making racing a spectacle for the watching crowds. This event will feature an exciting exhibition race with five RS:One sails specially fitted with LED lights. The illuminated sails should provide a very exciting and previously-unseen night racing spectacle."

...with this new technology, we will finally be able to catch midnight storms...or at least catch a few shrimp

The LED sail has perhaps kick started a new sailing concept.

I had the chance to sail the LED sail at night.
A new concept perceived by NP sail designers after rounds of beer.

It has to be really dark for the LED sails to stand out.
Attracted lots of attentions n new ideas to develop night LED sailing.

What, you guys can't think of anything better to do at night? ;-)

I can think of at least 3 things...
