🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels in the Navigation Rules • Difference between trawling and other types of fishing (like nets, lines, traps) • Meaning of different vertical light color combinations used to show vessel status

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which color combination is specifically associated with trawling and not just any fishing vessel? • Think about the common memory aids used for fishing-vessel lights and how they distinguish trawling from other fishing activities. • Compare each option to what you remember from Rule 26 – does it indicate a vessel engaged in fishing or something entirely different (e.g., not under command, restricted, etc.)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which vertical color combination in the Rules is explicitly labeled for vessels engaged in trawling. • Confirm that the chosen option represents fishing gear that restricts maneuverability, not another vessel condition such as not under command or restricted in ability to maneuver. • Double-check that the correct answer is a pair of all-round lights (visible from 360°), not side or masthead lights.
