Are navigation lights required for a 30.5' daysailor?



Why would they not? The Colregs have a section on the requirements
for sailboats - Rule 25. Exceptions may be made for vessels that are
never used at night or in restricted visibility. Also, sailboats
under 7 meters can get by with a just a flashlight.

Here's a good rules trivia question: is a small, powered dinghy
required to have sidelights?

No. Power driven vessels less than seven meters and whose max speed
cannot exceed 7 knots may exhibit an all-around white light and, if
praticable, sidelights but sidelights are not required in all cases.
(for example on a small inflatable dinghy sidelights are not considered
practicable)

How do the International and Inland
rules differ?

The above is International only.
