I'm about ready to try my first overnighter and tested lights last
night. I see "Running Lights" "Steaming Lights" and "Deck Lights"
but no "Anchor Light". The board is, I'm sure, standard F27 (92). Am
I missing something? Seems fundamental.
Sorry I was disturbed.
Navigation lights are defined by an international law dated 1972. You may
find detailed precision on the Web.
By anchor light, I suppose you mean "mooring lights".
Such a light for boats of our size is a white light which may be seen from
two nautical miles all around the boat. That light should be better situated on
top of mast. Now we only have one streaming light lower situated. That is
obviously the one to be used.
You also are allowed to show any white lighting on board. Personaly, I
double spreading light with a powerful hand torch because I like to sweep light
minded.
After sunrise, and until sunset, at mooring, you must wear in your shrouds a
round black mark ; and if visibility is poor, you must keep on your white
light.
Regarding sailing lights, side red and green lights must be visible from
front back to 112.5 degrees as far as 1 nautical mile. Stern light must be
visible as far as 2 miles along a 135 degrees segment from rear. Our size boats
are allowed not to bear a mast head white light.
Do not forget the black triangle point down if you are sailing and motoring.
