The anchor light at the top of the mast should not be used by a sailboat underway at night. Frequently it is left on when leaving an anchorage along with the steaming and navigation lights.
A masthead light, side lights and a stern light are the lights that power driven vessels less than 65.6 feet long and underway between sunset and sunrise exhibit.
The navigation lights required on a vessel are determined by its size, type, and the conditions under which it operates, as outlined in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). Vessels are classified into categories such as power-driven, sailing, and fishing vessels, each with specific light configurations. Additionally, the operational context, such as whether the vessel is at anchor or underway, also influences the required lighting. Compliance with these regulations ensures safety and visibility on the water.
