Hi Tom and others, Check the following site http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/mwv/navrules/rotr_online.htm Click on "Navigation Rules Online" Notice the first sentence says "We have combined the International and Inland Navigation Rules on this site so comparison between the two sets of Rules is easier. If you have any questions about the formatting, please read the Explanation of Layout" Be sure you read this explanation. I think the most important thing written here is " If a paragraph or word is italicized, that means there is no corresponding paragraph or word in the other set of Rules. The set of Rules the paragraph or word applies to will be at the end of the italicized text and look like this: [Intl] or [Inld]" Understanding this little nuance really cleared things up for me.

Hello group, I am getting a bit confused about required lighting for Mongomery 15s and 17s in coastal waters. Unless rules have changed, my "stock" bow mounted bicolor and stern-mounted white should suffice for night sailing, and these lights plus the top (cylindrical) half of the dual light about a meter above the spreaders (the "steaming" light) should suffice for steaming. I find the USCGboating.org suggestion for anchor lights on boats less than 7 meters ambiguous as written; it could mean these boats are exempted from flying a daytime black ball in most locations, or it could mean they are exempted both day and night. Does anyone know what the precise CG anchor light requirements are, or where they can be found (preferably on the internet)?
Thanks much, Tom Jenkins 2004 M17 Scintilla _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
