BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND As defined in the Rules, a towing light is a yellow light having the same characteristics as which light?
⢠Towing light definition in the Navigation Rules (Annex I and Rule 21) ⢠How a sternlight is defined compared to other lights ⢠The phrase "same characteristics as" in reference to color, arc of visibility, and placement
⢠Which of the listed lights shines over a specific sector aft of the vessel, and is used to show the vesselâs rear aspect? ⢠If a towing light is yellow, which other light (by definition) has the same arc of visibility but is normally white? ⢠Look at how masthead lights, sidelights, and sternlights each cover different arcs â which one best matches what you would expect for a light showing the direction of the tow behind the vessel?
⢠Verify in Rule 21 the exact wording: a towing light is a yellow light with the same characteristics as which other light? ⢠Confirm the arc of visibility in degrees for each type of light listed in the choices. ⢠Doubleâcheck that an all-round light shows 360° and ask if that would be appropriate for a towing light thatâs meant to show mainly astern.
