Port and starboard steaming lights and stern light
You should take early and substantial action to steer well clear of the other craft.
Give way
A sailing vessel is approaching head-on. You must give way. The lights that are seen from the front of a small boat are red and green. They signify the port and starboard sides of the ship. Red is for the port (left) side and green is the starboard (right) side.
The vessels head is toward you, the green light is the starboard running light, the white light is the masthead light Actually since the red and green nav lights must be seen at an angle of 135 degrees from bow to aft of amidships and a stern light also is seen at least 135 degrees you could be behind and to starboard. If the white light is high off the water then it is most likely coming at you.
Port is red, starboard is green.A rhyme is "wine is red and there's little left in the bottle."
