[Rhodes22-list] sailing: colregs Q

[Peter Thorn]

There is an existing stern light on the stern rail, like most R22s.  So I
gather that leaving that on AND the masthead 360 might confuse others to
think we are a much larger boat.

1)	When under sail, cover stern rail light
2)	When under power, switch masthead light off, expose stern light

Correct?

I believe he's right.

What do you plan on doing for a stern light when you're not under power?
If you're going to use the existing stern light, what are going to do 
with it when you ARE under power?
