BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which lights is a 15-meter sailing vessel required to show?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) sidelights, and stern light, but they may be in a combined lantern on the mast.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard's Navigation Rules, a sailing vessel of 12 meters (39.4 feet) or more in length is required to exhibit sidelights (red on the port side, green on the starboard side) and a stern light. These lights may be in a combined lantern mounted on the mast.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) A 15-meter sailing vessel requires more than just sidelights.
B) A 15-meter sailing vessel is not required to show a red over green light on the mast.
C) The rules allow for the sidelights and stern light to be in a combined lantern.
