Mechanically propelled models of less than 12 metres are not exempt from this slightly more accommodating rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which navigation lights should I choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, the same rule applies to all motorboats. This is true if they are less than 50 metres in length when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nootica.com\/chandlery\/onboard-energy\/navigation-lighting.html\"><strong>boat navigation lights<\/strong><\/a>. The fact is that these models are required to have :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A continuous white masthead light with a visibility angle of 225\u00b0;<\/li><li>The side lights comprising the starboard (green) and port (red) lights projecting light continuously for an angle of visibility of 112.5\u00b0;<\/li><li>A white uninterrupted stern light with a visibility angle of 135\u00b0.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less than 12 metres may derogate from the rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that in accordance with RIPAM Rules 22, 23 and 25, vessels under 50 metres are required to display the above-mentioned <strong>navigation lights<\/strong>. However, this legislation has also provided that models of less than 12 metres can derogate from this regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can dispense with the stern and masthead lights and replace them with another light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a light visible over the entire horizon, which is added to the side lights and provides a white light that illuminates the whole boat continuously, thanks to a 360\u00b0 angle of visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under 7 metres too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If those under 12 metres can benefit from a certain flexibility in the use of <strong>boat navigation lights<\/strong>, those under 7 metres in length are more flexible. Simply because for the latter, it is enough to install the light visible over the whole horizon and that&#8217;s it. This is, of course, provided that their speed does not exceed 7 knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also be aware that the range of this navigation light is limited to 2 miles. This is also the case for boats under 12 metres with a range of 1 mile for the side lights and 2 miles for the masthead and stern lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For motorboats between 12 and 50 metres in length, the masthead light has the advantage of reaching the 5-mile mark. The other mandatory navigation lights in this category are limited to 2 miles. The quality of the product can influence its performance, so you should zoom in on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boat navigation lights are a category of safety equipment that a boat must have.
