I thought port/starboard nav was enough for a boat under a (i forget) size?

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.

All Power boats must show a white light as a 'steaming light, those over 50M
show 2 forward / side facing - the bicolour or red/green nav lights are
optional for a small vessel

Notice the thread title: A speedboat is presumable capable of exceeding the
no r/g limit.

Cheerio,
