Key Insights
Night sailing provides a different, more intense experience compared to daytime sailing, with a heightened sense of vigilance required due to limited visibility. 
By relying on instruments and feeling rather than sight, night sailors sharpen their skills in navigating the waters, enhancing their overall sailing proficiency. 
The use of red lights for night vision not only prevents blindness from white lights but also creates a more conducive environment for maintaining awareness and safety during night sailing. 
The unique rhythm of sleeping in intervals during the night allows sailors to fully immerse themselves in the experience of night sailing, appreciating the diverse moments that come with it.
