Sorry, the vernacular is confusing. Steaming is the headlight placed on
the mast. Not the light on the masthead. My OEM CC panel has a switch
labelled Headlight. I have to remind myself that it is not Head Light.

It is kind of funny how a “steaming light” can many people confused.
The main point is that a sailboat is a sailboat and boat under power, depending
on its current situation at the time (if the engine is running, it is a power

one other difference: I find it harder to judge the distance of others
boats if they have a masthead light. It only really matters when racing

Joel,
this, actually, jives well with what I said about sailing in-shore. The same
applies if you are sailing in close quarters. If you see the lights at the deck
level, then there is no advantage in having them at the top of the mast. The
opposite is true, as well. If you cannot see the deck

many rechargeable C batteries are repackaged AA batteries (in a bigger

Lengths of boats must be taken into consideration when discussing legality of
lights. A power boat UNDER 12 m can use an allround white. Over 12m they must
have a masthead (steaming light) and stern light. It's nice to be able to

A Masthead light is white and covers an arc of 225 degrees facing forward and
is at least 2 meters above your navigation and stern lights. If you have a
power driven vessel less than 12 meters, under rule 23 you can use an
all-around white light instead of the masthead light and stern light.
It is more complex than that.
A power driven vessel under 12 meters can use an all-around white light in lieu
of masthead and stern. Over 12 but less than 50 meters it must have masthead
and stern. Over 50 and it needs two masthead lights and a stern light. And
