I own a Dufour 30 and have a query regarding the navigation lights. The original setup on the boat is a tri-colour and all round white at the top of the mast along with a bi-colour at the masthead.
I recently had some work carried out on the boat and was told that this lighting setup isn't correct but this is as fitted by Dufour.
The issue seems to be when under power whereby the all round white and the masthead bi-colour would be used.
From what I can see looking at the colregs this should be okay although the bi-colour at masthead could be open to debate.
I checked other boats at the marina today and it seems to be the French manufacturers that go for all round white and bi-colour setup.
Would be interested in views from the panel.
