Tom,
You're under 7 meters, so you only have to have an "all-round white
light" which may be a flashlight (torch) to illuminate the sail.
You don't even have to carry a fire extinguisher because you're an
outboard and you have a removable gas tank.
I know. I was stopped and inspected. My lights didn't work (what else
it new?). My extinguisher was in the "red" zone. I was passed by
the CG inspection team. I did have a "torch" that gleamed dimly in
the noon-day sun, but it passed, too.
Here's the wording:
