I have to say this discussion has been "illuminating". (Sorry couldn't help my self) Looks like I need to add an anchor light at my masthead. I won't be able to do it for this trip, so I'll use the Mega-Lite in the foretriangle and a second light from the boom. Thanks for all the help. -- Stephen Petri S/V Witchcraft, Ranger 33 No. 161 http://www.teamwitchcraft.com <http://www.teamwitchcraft.com/>

Steaming Light 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. Alan "Victoria" Lying Kittery, ME K1ALL _____ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
