[Bob Weber]

1) under sail - Stern light ( 135 degree rear facing light) + side lights
2) under power - Stern Light + Side lights + forward facing "steaming' Light which fills in the 225 degrees not covered by the stern light.  
                 or - 360 degree "anchor light" + side lights only (no stern light)  Bob W> From: pthorn at nc.rr.com> To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org> Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:39:38 -0400> Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] sailing: colregs Q> > There is an existing stern light on the stern rail, like most R22s.
