Moored in Portsmouth last Saturday evening and was shocked at the number of incorrect Nav lights displayed, mostly by yachts.
We saw
1) Tricolour, steaming light, and red/green bow.
2) Tricolour with lower white strern light
3) Tricolour with Steaming Light
In fact almost every combination, only about 1 in 5 yachts were correct.
Fishing boats, power boats and a rib full of beered up lads went past and they showed the correct lights. Admittedly it is easier for them as they don't have a motor config and a sailing config but is it really that difficult?
Come on yachties, get it right please.
