BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which lights is a 15-meter sailing vessel required to show?
β’ Navigation Rules β Part C: Lights and Shapes for sailing vessels β’ Required lights for a sailing vessel underway versus optional lights β’ Size distinction for sailing vessels less than 20 meters in length
β’ Think about what the basic "power-driven vessel" light pattern is, and then recall what is different for a vessel under sail only. β’ Ask yourself: what are the minimum required lights for a sailing vessel of 15 meters at night, and which lights are only optional (extra) to help show she is a sailing vessel? β’ Consider whether a 15-meter sailboat is allowed to combine some required lights into a single lantern and, if so, where that lantern is mounted.
β’ Verify in the Navigation Rules what lights are required (not optional) for a sailing vessel underway less than 20 meters. β’ Check whether the red over green, "sailing machine" lights are mandatory or optional for a sailboat of this size. β’ Confirm whether the rules allow combining sidelights and stern light into one lantern on the mast for vessels under a certain length and whether 15 meters falls within that limit.
