M_Boats: Nav lights at top of mast

10 Dec 2004

      Would someone explain how a tri-color light works? Does the all around white
light stay on, all around, whenever the nav lights are on or are there two
lights in there, one stern and one steaming?

Also, what are the issues concerning legality?

Thanks,

Just called the Coast Guard and asked if using masthead nav lights
(tri-color) was still legal on both inland waters and off shore.
Apparently they are
still legal, and there haven't been any recent changes to  the rules
alowing
them.
