¿Cuáles son las luces mínimas exigibles a una embarcación de propulsión mecánica menor de 7 metros de eslora, navegando a menos de 7 nudos?What are the minimum lights required of a power-driven craft under 7 metres long, sailing at less than 7 knots?
Show the answer
Correct answer: b) All-round (white).
Why it is correct
Rule 23 d) ii) requires an all-round white light and, if practicable, sidelights. The minimum is the white light.
Why the others are not
- a) Normal for a larger vessel, not the minimum here.
- c) The all-round white is missing.
- d) Sidelights are if practicable, so they are not the minimum.
How to work it out in the exam
- The key word is minimum: drop what the Rules ask only if practicable.
