Booby just said that to troll you up from the depths
to which you have sunk recently. Booby acts dumb but he is dumb like a fox. Unlike Doug King, for example, Booby at least knows the difference between a sailboat and a motor boat. "Jeff Morris" jeffmo@NoSpam-sv-lokiDOTcom wrote in message ... Whatever. But your job was well done. Booby now believes his tricolor is legal for powering. "Simple Simon" wrote in message ... "Jeff Morris" jeffmo@NoSpam-sv-lokiDOTcom wrote in message ... Fact 4) An auxiliary sailboat does not need to have installed the lights for a motor vessel unless and until it turns on the motor. True. It also doesn't need lights during the day in good visibility. Running lights are not "required equipment," but their appropriate use is. What's the point? The point is your statement about Bobsprit's boat needing lower running lights in addition to any masthead tricolor he might install is totally wrong. Is that what this is all about? I was advising RB, taking into account the nature of his boat and his sailing. He has already told us that he frequently powers back to his slip at night; he clearly needs lower sidelights. To advise otherwise would be reprehensible. Your advice was incomplete and wrong. Your wording was wrong. The idea it conveyed was wrong. When you tell somebody he must have lower running lights in addition to the tricolor you need to include the qualifiers and you did not include them. You made a blanket generalization based on a motor boat bias. |
