Dans un e-mail dat� du 26/10/04 13:48:50 Paris, Madrid (heure d'�t�),
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a �crit :
I was specifically taught that they are 'anchor lights' and NOT 'mooring
lights', i.e. a white light should not be displayed when moored to a buoy.
Hope we do not start a L27/F22 discussion.
When you are moored onto a buoy, you are hold by that buoy anchor or anchors.
Thus the international 1972 rule n�25 do apply.
The french writing of those rules is "mouillage" and you may be "mouill�" on
your own anchor as well as on a buoy (be sure how that buoy is anchored).
Looking in Harraps dictionary, I am quite surprised that the translation of
"mouillage" is understood as mooring on own anchors only.
Yet, again, rule n�25 tells that a ship aground must display an "anchor"
light +....
And you will admit that sailor's sense will induce you to beacon your
presence inside the sweeping circle around a lonely buoy.
Led lights
Annex I.10 of 1972 rules tell that a sailing ship lights must be seen with
minimal required intensity within 5 degrees of horizontal plane and with at
least 50 per cent within 25 degrees from horizontal plane.
Agreements
Annex I.13 tells that lights must be judged satisfactorily (quite vague) by
the national authority whose flag is flown by ship.
