I agree it could be a sailboat with no masthead, but I don't get a say in their test questions.

If the other vessel is sailing then it's not a head-on situation but a hierarchy situation rule 18.

Thanks for the help MARZ. folks have got to learn how to read the CG Questions. The CG person writing the question is looking at one rule at a time.

Is it possible a head-on situation when you see one masthead light and one sidelight?
