You can have a tri-color light with white for the stern sector, and, those are normally mounted on the masthead. Avoids the problem Gaeton points out and gives you all nav lights in one. But then you have to have wire up the mast and thru cabin into boat, which are their own cans of worms. cheers, John On 1/16/22 11:23 AM, Gaeton wrote:

Any reason stern light can't be mounted low on the mast or on the cabin top? ( other than interpretation of rules). From a dist I doubt. If the position could be distinguished between mast cabin top or stern. Much easier to wire and Bristol
