7.2.1 Navigation lights
The yacht is delivered to you with a complete set of navigation lights.
These lights fully comply with the requirements of the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions At Sea (72 COLREGS). All vessels
may use the 72 COLREGS as the controlling document when in
international waters. In U.S. navigable waters, reference must be made
to the Great Lakes and Western River Rules.
The 72 COLREGS require that the navigation lights shall be switched on
if your vessel is being operated between sunset and sunrise, or in times
of reduced visibility. For this kind of yacht, the required navigation lights
consists of a red (port) and green (starboard) sidelight, a white masthead
light, and a white stern light; or if you are not docked or anchored in a
recognized anchorage, a white masthead light.

WARNING
To prevent circumstances that could lead to property damage, injury or
death from the improper use of the helm and its controls, the yacht’s
owner/operator must ensure that inexperienced or unauthorized

WARNING
All of the navigation lights furnished with your vessel meet the current
72 COLREGS requirements. However, it is the legal responsibility of
the vessel’s owner to ensure that in the event of modifications to the
vessel superstructure, the required areas of visibility for each of these
lights are not obscured.

WARNING
Your transom door must be kept closed while underway at night to
avoid obscuring the stern light. This door should remain closed at all
times when underway to minimize the possibility of someone falling
overboard.
