A sailing vessel of 18 meters is underway at night. She elects to use a combined lantern at the masthead instead of separate sidelights and sternlight. She also wishes to display the optional red-over-green all-round lights at the masthead. Which statement is correct under the Inland Rules?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. She may not display the red-over-green all-round lights in conjunction with the combined lantern — 33 CFR §83.25(b) permits the combined lantern for sailing vessels less than 20 meters. However, §83.25(c) expressly states that the optional red-over-green all-round lights shall not be exhibited in conjunction with the combined lantern permitted by paragraph (b). The two systems are mutually exclusive.

Answer

A. She may display both the combined lantern and the red-over-green lights simultaneously

Answer

B. She may not display the combined lantern at all because she is over 12 meters

Answer

D. She must display separate sidelights and sternlight because she is over 12 meters
