Inland, my boy, inland . . .
Sorry Bart but you are wrong. The special flashing light is for pushing ahead only. Towing alongside only requires sidelights on the tow. A is the correct answer; not D CN "Bart Senior" wrote in message ... 1 point for Joe Joe wrote: D |
Bart, You need to review. For pushing ahead in inland rules you need sidelights and a special flashing light on the tow. For hip towing you need only the side light on the front of the tow plus two yellow towing lights on the stern of the tow. I hope this helps. CN "Bart Senior" wrote in message ... Doug, What is the difference in lights between the hip tow and pushing ahead? "DSK" wrote I think that's right, a side tie gets the same light as being pushed ahead. |
D is correct.....

Wrong! A is correct.

Sorry Cap, on this one, Joe is correct.

You need to review, too. A is the correct answer. The question is inland only. In the inland rules a special flashing light is NOT, I repeat, NOT required when towing along side past the demarcation line. A hip tow requires sidelights and two yellows on its stern. It does not require a special flashing light. INLAND A special flashing light is used on a vessel A. being pushed ahead B. towed alongside C. towed astern D. both A & B CN "Jeff Morris" wrote in message ...

No cap, its you that needs the review.
We're talking about the vessel being towed, not the tow vessel. Refer to 24(f)(ii), IIRC. Capt. Neal® wrote: You need to review, too. A is the correct answer. The question is inland only.

Doug, What is the difference in lights between the hip tow and pushing ahead? AFAIK there isn't a difference. In both cases the towing/pushing vessel displays running lights + towing lights, the tow displays yellow lights. I don't know this stuff by heart, I always look it up. On those rare occasions when we're underway at night and see a tow, I call the skipper on VHF... is that cheating? DSK |
I fail to see why you two idiots cannot understand that by definition
a special flashing light is ONLY used on a vessel being pushed ahead. A. is the correct answer. B. is incorrect because a vessel being towed along side does not require a special flashing light. That makes D. wrong as well. Get a clue. CN "otnmbrd" wrote in message ink.net... Capt. Neal® wrote: You need to review, too. A is the correct answer. The question is inland only.
