Did I ever say the lights should be used at the same time? I'm sorry, you keep saying I
did, but the words simply are not there. At no time do I mention using both at one time,
and claiming I did is a blatant lie. The question that was asked was which should be
installed. The proper answer for RB is clearly that if he installs a tricolor, it should
be in addition to the sidelights. I left out the word "installed," it was implied in the
discussion. It does not mean I said "use", because I never did.

You are trying to use the same, old, tired argument as Jeff.

Both of you are not going to get out of it by saying "in context
this and in context that". I don't give a hoot who Jeff was responding
to. If he meant to say auxiliary sailboats must have 'in addition to'
the tricolor, regular running and steaming lights he would be correct.

However, that is not what he said. He said sailboat must have . . .

He did not say Bobsprit's sailboat; he did not say auxiliary sailboats;
he said sailboats and since he did he is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Side with me on this one and you will have much more credibility.
You used to have a fair share but the longer you persist in an
untenable position the more it erodes away.

Jeff was clearly saying that the running lights and
the tricolor at the masthead should be lit at the same
time. Jeff was clearly wrong.


Hmmmm missed that. However, since the subject at hand was a particular sailboat
that is also capable of running "under power", then .... a sailboat which is
using the tricolor light when sailing, shall have "in addition to" this light,
the normal running lights which will be used when the vessel is "additionally"
under power, or "in addition to" that, under power alone.
