The current COLREGS visibility requirements for vessels less than 50m are:
(b)In vessels of 12 meters or more in length but less
than 50 meters in length;
a masthead light, 5 miles; except that where the
length of the vessel is less than 20
meters, 3 miles;a sidelight, 2 miles;a sternlight, 2 miles, A towing light,
2 miles;a white, red, green or yellow all-round light, 2
miles.
I believe that an anchor light under these rules is an all-round light; the
masthead light refers to a steaming light. This is consistant with the
certifications cited by most navigation light manufacturers.
