🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 24 – Towing and Pushing (lights for a power-driven vessel when towing astern) • How length of tow and length of vessel affect the number and arrangement of masthead lights • Difference between stern light and towing light (color and position)

💭 Think About

• First, decide how many masthead lights are required forward for a power-driven vessel of 50 meters when towing. Compare that to what is required when not towing. • Next, determine how the tow length of 100 meters changes the number of masthead lights or their arrangement. • Finally, consider what lights are required at the stern of the towing vessel: which light(s), what color they should be, and how they are positioned relative to each other.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify from Rule 24 how many forward masthead lights are required for a vessel 50 meters or more in length when towing. • Check whether a second (or third) masthead light should be placed abaft and higher than the forward light(s) for a towing vessel of this size. • Confirm that a stern light AND a towing light are both required, and that the towing light must be yellow and placed above the stern light.
