 So what's the penalty for someone who does use both, (not me, of course, but I 
have seen it done)...???

Tri colors primary purpose is for offshore use. When coastal their height 
limits their usefulness. People are looking around the horizon for lights not 
30 to 60 feet in the air when coastal. Never have tricolor on and deck running 
lights on at the same time. Nor have a tricolor on and steaming light on at the 
same time. Never use an anchor light unless you're anchored.  And it's my 
understanding that there was no real purpose first strobe other than confusing 
the observer.

Chuck you are correct that you can use one or the other but not both. I prefer 
to use the deck lights in the bay because it is easier to judge distance. 
Offshore are use the masthead so the lights are visible for a greater distance

Thanks,

I like having the strobe as a way of differentiating my boat.  It's for 
emergency use only.  I like having it in case I'm not being seen by another 
vessel, I can flip it on until they get a bearing on me and then turn it off.  
Or if I call for assistance, it can visually mark my boat as the one needing 
help.
