Q

Contact on radar that indicates a possible close quarter’s situation or risk of collision requires that

A

early and substantial action be taken to avoid that. A course change alone may prevent a close quarter’s situation from developing.

Proper day shapes shall be displayed during

A

daylight hours in clear and/or restricted visibility. Obviously you can’t see them at night, which is why you use lights. The annex (Annex I) to the rules indicates that smaller boats may carry smaller day shapes.

Q

SIDELIGHTS

A

are colored red for port and green for starboard. Since the sidelights are half the coverage of masthead light they are 112.5° from dead ahead, to 22.5° abaft the beam, on either side.

Q

A powered towboat when working by pushing or hip towing will

carry another masthead light on the same mast in addition to the masthead light required if a power driven vessel.

This second light, in line, indicates that the vessel is engaged in the business of towing ahead, on the hip or astern.

Q

Sailboats underway will show

A

sidelights & stern light. PERIOD.

Q

Sailing vessels less than 20m may

A

have the three lights combined in one unit at the top of the mast (tri-color). It will not carry a regular deck level side lights in this instance.

30
Q

A sailing vessel under 7 meters may instead show

A

only a white light in sufficient time to prevent collision.

31
Q

A rowboat may be lighted like a sailboat (sidelights and a stern light) but

A

should at the very least have the white light shown in sufficient time to prevent collision.

32
Q

At night, when a sailboat is under machinery power, it is considered

A

a powerboat under the rules and shall be so lighted.

33
Q

In daytime a sailboat with engine in use and sails up, shall exhibit a

A

black cone, point down, saying “My motor is on and I am a power vessel.”

34
Q

Vessel trawling

A

(not TROLLING), that is, dragging through the water nets and gear, SHALL display, forward, all around lights, which are GREEN over WHITE. The after masthead light is the same as the basic lighting rule, that is to say, optional under 50m and required 50m or over. Green Over White Gonna Eat Shrimp Tonight.

35
Q

When underway and making way, vessels trawling must show

A

side lights and stern light.

36
Q

vessels trawling not moving through the water

37
Q

he Day shape for a vessel trawling

A

is two cones point to point.

38
Q

A vessel fishing (not trawling or trolling)

A

360 degree (ro 32 point) lights that are Red over White. It uses the same day shape as a trawling vessel The after masthead light on fishing vessels over 50 meters is not carried. A fishing vessel will have running lights on when running. Shell have side lights and a stern light when underway making way. And no sidelights or sternlight when under way but not making way. RED AND WHITE We HOPE THE FISH BITE.

39
Q

A fishing vessel with anchor down, but still engaged in the activity of fishing, is really

A

not at anchor because it is USING THE ANCHOR AS A FISHING TOOL, therefore it does not display an anchor light.

40
Q

NUC lights

A

A vessel not under command shall exhibit two RED lights in a vertical line. She shall also exhibit running lights when running, but never masthead lights.

The day shape for NUC is 2 black balls displayed in a vertical line

41
Q

Rule # 27 RAM LIGHTS

A

A vessel restricted in ability to maneuver will show 360½ (32 point) lights that are RED over WHITE over RED. The day shape for RAM is a black BALL-DIAMOND-BALL.

Red, White, Red, the work I dread

42
Q

A vessel involved in dredging or underwater construction that has an obstruction on one side (such as pipe lines or cables) will warn approaching vessels away from that side by

A

displaying two black balls during the day, one over the other. At night the vessel will show two all around red lights in a vertical line.

43
Q

on the opposite side, if there is no obstruction, the dredge would carry t

A

wo black diamond shapes during the day, one over the other. At night, two all around green lights in a vertical line as an indication that this is the safe side to pass.

44
Q

For dredges always

A

Call on the radio. They will have someone monitoring the radio 24 7

45
Q

Diving operations cal

A

he Ball-Diamond-Ball shape, but if the vessel is so small that it would be impractical to show those shapes, a rigid replica of the code flag “A” may be shown instead. Many state laws require the red flag with the diagonal white stripe when diving in state regulated waters.

The RAM dayshape (or code flag “A”), indicate a CONDITION OF THE VESSEL FOR MANEUVERING. The sport diving flag warns other vessels of the presence of divers in the water.

46
Q

International Dive Flag is

A

For the “A” or Alpha Flag

Mine Clearance

49

Mine clearance requires a light array called a

A

Christmas Tree array of three GREEN lights at night or 3 black balls during the day. Minesweeping or mine clearance is considered RAM but does not carry RAM lights or shapes, since it has its own distinctive shape.

50
Q

How far away do you have to stay from a mine sweepers?

A

Other vessels SHALL stay clear of these vessels at work, keeping at least 1000 meters away, alongside and astern, under International (COLREGS) Rules. Vessels less than 12 meters are not required to exhibit the lights of this set of rules. However they may do so.

51
Q

Rule # 28 CONSTRAINED BY DRAFT A vessel constrained by draft may in addition to her regular masthead, side and stern lights, must show

A
  • show 3 all-round RED lights at night and a black cylinder in daytime.
  • This category does not exist in the Inland Rules.
  • Three Reds In Row - No Room Below
