NAVIGATION LIGHTS

All boats are required to display navigation lights from sunset to sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility. When at anchor at night, boats must display an unobstructed all-round white light visible in all directions (360 degrees). See Chapter 4 for details.

Chapter 4 contains details on the proper lights for various boat types.
