You encounter another boat. You assess the situation and determine that you are the stand-on vessel. What must you do?
ANY boat on the water at night must display three lights: A green light starboard (on the bow) a red light port (on the bow) and a white light on the stern, mounted higher than the bow lights.
When a sailboat is on a collision course with a fishing boat hauling its nets, it must give way to the fishing boat, as the fishing vessel is restricted in its ability to maneuver. The sailboat should alter its course or speed to avoid the collision, prioritizing safety. Additionally, the sailboat should be vigilant and communicate with the fishing boat if necessary to ensure both vessels navigate safely.
When a sailboat is on a collision course with a fishing boat, it must take action to avoid the collision. According to the "Rules of the Road," the sailboat, being the give-way vessel, should change its course or speed to pass safely behind or in front of the fishing boat. If the fishing boat is under power, it typically has the right of way. The sailor should also communicate intentions clearly if possible to prevent confusion.
Boat lights must be turned on during periods of low visibility, such as at night, during dawn or dusk, and in adverse weather conditions like fog or heavy rain. It's essential to display the appropriate navigation lights as required by maritime regulations to ensure safe passage and visibility to other vessels. Additionally, if you’re anchored or moored in a busy area, it's advisable to keep your lights on to alert other boats of your presence.
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.
you can have your car lights on at any time but you do not have to have them on

Provided you paid for the orginal boat with post tax dollars, and the boat was not used in a business which declared the boat as an asset of the business, there is no tax. If the boat was used in the operation of a business, and was part of the assets, you must declare the sale on your business taxes. Otherwise there is no taxes.
When a sailboat is on a collision course with a fishing boat hauling its nets, the sailboat must take action to avoid the collision, as the fishing boat is considered to have the right of way. The sailboat should alter its course or speed to steer clear of the fishing vessel. It's important for the sailboat to communicate its intentions clearly if possible and ensure a safe distance is maintained. Always prioritize safety and navigation rules in such situations.
When operating a power boat at night, your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from your port side (left side). This is part of the navigation rules that dictate that vessels must display specific lights to indicate their direction and position to other boats. The red light, along with the green sidelight on the starboard (right) side, helps prevent collisions by signaling the boat's heading.
