[@duggsteary]

Another great educational video Marco! Wonderful use of the lights fading into the boat photo. Very impactful.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you for the kind feedback. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the support.

[@iangesman5847]

Surprising lesson here, many boats neglect the lighting, Don't and learn this over and over again, nite passages can be extra dangerous. Like this one!

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you Ian.

Thanks Capt.

[@capt.mahadeomakane1798]

Thank you - In 12 minutes Complete Revision However Rule 27 - Not under Command Vessels 0755 - 0814 . Mast head Lights are Not Displayed by these Vessels as per International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you for the clarification sir! I looked it up and I see that it does say sidelights and stern lights for vessels making way but no masthead light.

[@rishabhrajsingh7415]

very precise and informative..thank you

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you for the kind comment and support.

You're welcome 😊

[@joshuajustalero4746]

Very informative

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you for the kind comment. Glad you enjoyed it

[@nwood1311]

Is it actually important/useful to remember all of these? They seem so specific-I for one have never come across a surfaced submarine.

[@vamsirokkam6304]

Thanku soo much sir

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@vahidrezaei1397]

Bravo 👏

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thank you 🙏

[@rickdemaria3737]

Rule 26 Fishing Vessels: Do not require a mast head light unless the vessel is over 50 meters (it is an option). Small detail but you should stay in line with the COLGES and not deviate for convenience.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Once again thank you for your knowledge.

[@rickdemaria3737]

Great review though!

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Glad you think so!

[@dragonclaws9367]

What they had to watch was the American sub doing exercises with them that was underneath the entire time. 😂

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

😂

[@rickdemaria3737]

Rule 27 Pilot Vessels: No Mast Head light or lights per COLREGS. Only Off-Duty but that falls under Rule 23.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thanks for clarifying

[@terryhayward4402]

A fishing vessel engaged in fishing does not show her forward masthead light in addition. regardless if it's trawling or fishing other than trawling. only her after masthead light to show she is greater than 50 meters in length. but a great presentation otherwise. A fishing vessel engaged in fishing that is less than 50 meters may display an after masthead light, but is not obligated to do so.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@aquavitasailing2855]

Awesome review thank you, I loved the way you showed the lights alone, and then revealed the vessel showing them. Some clarification about the sailboat at 4:57... My masthead light is a “tri-light” (15m sailboat), so I believe I have to show EITHER the masthead light, OR the deck lights while sailing, but NOT both. I believe the only time both can be on is if the vessel has a “stacked” masthead light (“red over green, sailing machine...”) as is shown in your video. Am I correct?

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Yes that is correct. Mast head tri can’t be used with regular side lights and stern light. Red over green (technically not a masthead tri-light) can be used with sidelights

[@aquavitasailing2855]

Carpe Diem Sailing the other one I remember is “red (or green) over white,... fishing at night.”...

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Yup. “Red over white, fishboat in sight”

[@YOULOOTWESHOOT101]

What about a Rule Of The Road video !?

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Something like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIqzhaaMibWKp9E

[@johnrainsman6650]

Question. I saw this in a movie. If the channel lights on your charts aren't exactly the same as the actual lights in the sea, is that suspicious, even if it's a slight difference? In the movie, it caused a shipwreck on coral reefs.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Channel lights should match actual lights. Sometimes things are changed and that is why all mariners are responsible for keeping their charts, whether paper or electronic up to date.

[@johnrainsman6650]

@@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine In the movie (1920s 0r 30s) the owner said, "Charts are never up to date in this part of the pacific."

[@johnrainsman6650]

@@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine And actually, the villain of the movie shifted them. He even told the hero that the lights do not always mark the safe channel. So on occasion they do? How so?

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

@@johnrainsman6650 The lights and buoys are meant to be aids to navigation not channel markers as most people mistakenly believe which leads to many incidents. Nav aids are meant to be used in conjunction with charts. A chart is the only definitive method for determining safe water.

[@johnrainsman6650]

@@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine They were defintiely light buoys in the movie. If you want to see the first five mins for a reference, KZbin the most dangerous game. Beginning talks about the lights and shows the wreck

[@nonyayet1379]

nice video and it'd be educational is you put some pazaz into your voice, etc. it's so hard to follow the mundane verbage with minimal voice deflection sir. I didn't type this to complain, but rather so you can improve, if you haven't yet, over the past few years. you seem quite knowledgeable. I have now replayed this several times. . disclosure, i am high energy and it takes a real good speaker to hold my attention. thank you for the video .

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback

[@dnihilist]

FAIL, anchored sailboat not displaying dayshape, must be a USAnian boat.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Canada. Dayshape not required by Canadian Modifications

[@dnihilist]

Doesn't Rule 30 Cad Mods g and h refer to lights, and applies only to barges and inconspicuous or submerged vessels?
