| Why can't this be a small motorboat underway? | |

| Yeah seriously... this could totally be a small motorboat. I have a small boat with a single green light on the starboard aide so what makes it definitively a sailboat? | |

| think about it this way, under what circumstance would ONLY that light be there? then do POE A. Drifting, well if its a PDV you would still have your mast headlight (in general, when "vessel" is just there I assume a PDV). So it can't be that. B. SMall motorboat U/W: would show an ALL AROUND white light, so you'd still see it. D. Vessel @ anchor, wouldnt be showing it's sidelights, cant be the answer. Which leaves B- you also have to know that IF a sail boat is small enough that it can combine its light into a lantern then that light is all you would see. |
