BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel may combine her sidelights and stern light in one lantern on the fore and aft centerline of the vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 25 – Sailing Vessels and Vessels Under Oars in the Navigation Rules • Length limits for when a combined lantern is allowed instead of separate sidelights and stern light • Difference between lighting requirements for power-driven vessels vs sailing vessels

💭 Think About

• First, decide which options are sailing vessels and which are power-driven or non‑self‑propelled. Which category does the combined lantern rule apply to? • Next, recall the maximum length of a vessel that is allowed to show sidelights and stern light in one combined lantern on the fore‑and‑aft centerline. Which answer choices meet that length requirement? • Ask yourself: does Rule 25 allow any vessel under a certain length to use this combined lantern, or is it restricted to a specific type of vessel (sailing vs power‑driven vs non‑self‑propelled)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact wording of Rule 25(b)/(c) – Sailing vessels underway to find who may use a combined lantern. • Verify the maximum length in meters stated in the rule for using a combined sidelights/stern light lantern. • Confirm that the option you pick is both the correct vessel type (sailing vs power-driven/non‑self‑propelled) and at or below the length limit given in Rule 25.
