C. is correct. The other answers all call for a stern light. The barge
being pushed would not have a sternlight, that would be found on the stern of the pushing vessel. wrote in message oups.com...

I was doing it from memory while you had to look it up. Besides, as the answers are written, C is NOT a valid answer. There is no such thing as a sidlight nor a speical flashing light. B is the closets best answer. CN "Jeff Morris" wrote in message ... Capt. Neal® wrote: "Shen44" wrote in message ...

Rule 24 para f.....there's also a picture of same. but it helps to have
spent time on the Big Easy. Memory doesn't count. A requirement is to always have a copy of ColRegs on hand. "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... I was doing it from memory while you had to look it up.

RULE 24 (f)(i)
|
C is correct.
If you study the answers, each contains sidelights. What else is required? Sternlights are not needed since it is being towed ahead. That gets you down to one possible choice. |
C is valid. And there is nothing wrong with looking answers up
in the book, if necessary. One requirement is that a copy of the Navigation Rules must be carried on board. This is an actual test question. Bart |
No sternlight. The answer is C

Many of the tugs / barges / workboats on the Chessy have so many deck
lights on at night, you can't pick out the nav lights. Big ships also. Scotty "Shen44" wrote in message ...

As someone who does considerable night time work, I'm noticing more and more that for various types I have to note "type" first and then find the running lights (especially difficult with newer locations for sidelights) One of the worst offenders are cruise ships. otn |
