The rules say you have to see both sidelights dead ahead for it to be a meeting situation. Just the way it's worded. Some vessels (depending on their work) underway-not making way show their prescribed lights but no sidelights though. None of them have 1 red light and towing vessels don't do this. |

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Don't the two forward lights tell us that it is under power. Which is a more true answer than "D" |

But isn't this a sailboat? I thought a head-on situation was only between two power boats |
