Hi,

I have (another!) question for the group...

I'd like to be able to get into the water to watch the national firework
competition here in Plymouth in August.

Can I get away with a bi-colour nav light on the bow and an all-round white
light on the stern?

My boat is a 14ft Plancraft Stingray.

Thanks in advance,

David


No, you need a Stern Light on the Stern. An all round white 'could' be
seen from ahead.

There is such a thing as Tri-colour, but I believe it can only be used
on a sailing boat when under sail, otherwise that would be ideal for you
on a short mast.

Mike

Wrong I'm afraid. On a 14ft boat, you only legally need the all round
white "mast head" light on a pole. If you plan to go at speed, you need
a bicolour on the bow or separate red and green on the appropriate side.

Regards,

Nick
