    clearly confused

    Thanks Bill,
    My interpretation is this (please correct me if it is wrong.)

    A/Cs which are under 10 meters -
    and rigged with a tri-color masthead light -
    can steam around (sails up or down) in the dark of night -

    with a tri-color (port, starboard, and white stern) turned on.

    But, as a motorboat,
    should I have the all-round 'anchor' light on as well?
    I assume this light in the fixture is separate from the three color light(s)
    and is above them in the same fixture. (?)

    Is not the all-round masthead white light used only when anchored?

    IE, it is correct for 338 to only have the normal tricolor on when under power at night.

    It sounds like a green/red pulpit light
    and the pushpit white stern light are used
    as a complete extra system backup. Or
    when the tricolor is not being used. When
    motoring with these lights is the
    masthead all-round white light also ON?

    What is unclear is how an allround white
    masthead anchor light can be used on a moving boat. (?)
