Red over Red

[Guest]

Does anyone (other than commercial charter boats) carry the gear to show Red over Red? I'd be surprised if more than one boat in 50 is properly equiped but the regulations appear to make no exception for size - and we are possibly more likely to run aground than the big boys.

Should we carry this? Do you?

Rule 27(g) says you don't have to show red over red if you are less than 12 m long. Rule 30(f) says the same for the "aground" shapes. But 12 m is less than 40 ft, so how many 40 footers carry the red over red (or, for that matter, a bell with a 200 mm diameter mouth)?
