sounds like something uncle taw would know

or Uncle Steel, who is an active recreational sailor.

depends on your boat and the purposes to which it will be put, also there are specific regulations for each country (although many are very similar)

basically, red for port, green for starboard, white on the bow or mast, and a white stern or stem light. The exact positioning of the lights etc. is dependent upon the local regulations and accepted practice.

Or, if you sail on the lake I use, you don't really NEED any lights. Nobody cares, and it's big enough that your chances of colision are mighty small. Plus, with all the light polution you can see a fair distannce in front of you.

Thanks Tawakalna, just what i was looking for!

glad I could help! no-one ever asks me about sea-stuff, just pc stuff. btw what sort of vessel have you got/are you getting?

Hehe, Iam not well Iam...its freighter Iam working on (like to be close to what it should be in real life or what they would do if they sent a ship up there). If that makes any sense.

As much as I would like a boat and catch up with some fishing, I think it'll have to wait till I settle.

I am sure there are all the regulations on an internet site. It's always a good idea to use a good search engine, I would personally recommend Google.
