At all times
A lookout on a vessel is required to maintain a constant watch for potential hazards, other ships, and navigational obstacles to ensure the safety of the vessel and crew. The lookout helps prevent collisions and assists in navigating through challenging conditions, such as poor visibility or adverse weather. Regulations, such as the International Maritime Organization's COLREGs, mandate the presence of a lookout, especially during critical situations or nighttime operations. Overall, the lookout plays a crucial role in maritime safety and effective navigation.

It depends on the size of the vessel. A large vessel would have a position high in the rigging called the crows nest.
When overtaking another vessel in darkness or reduced visibility, the overtaking vessel must keep a safe distance and maintain a proper lookout.

Additionally, the overtaking vessel should avoid any sudden maneuvers that could confuse the other vessel.
