Happens all the time when I'm washing the stancheons on a port reach.

Annex 1 of the colregs requires a vertical separation of at least 1 metre between the red and green, which makes this impractical on many boats.

Can anyone explain the point of red over green? Yachts over 12m must carry stern and port and starboard lights. In addition to those, yachts over 12m may carry an all round red above an all round green. What's the point of that? I can only guess that it's to be seen at a greater distance. Anybody know?

It is a useful thing for Sail Training Vessels and other large sailing vessels - indeed, it seems to me that they usually do show these lights - because it allows them to be identified quickly in shipping lanes, wich, unlike yachts, they make regular use of, and where, of course, they have right of way over motor vessels.
There is no sense in a yacht carrying these lights.

Agree with that.It immediately identifies it as a large sailing vessel which will behave much differently to a small yacht.

"it allows them to be identified quickly in shipping lanes, wich, unlike yachts, they make regular use of, and where, of course, they have right of way over motor vessels."
But not in a TSS, where Rule 10(j) says that "... a sailing vessel shall not impede the safe passage of a power-driven vessel following a traffic lane."

Unless of course it is a 12 metre yacht with these lights!

I always thought that Red over Green was a seaplane turning hard right at zero feet to miss my mast!
