---------ABOUT THE VIDEO---------
This video was originally uploaded to our other channel, Casual Navigation, back in 2018.
This video is an "in depth" look at Rule 25 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. Rule 25 continues the section looking at Light and Shapes of different vessels. This rule defines the lights and shapes that a sailing vessel or a vessel under oars should exhibit.
---------RULE 25---------
Rule 25: Sailing vessels underway and vessels under oars
(a) A sailing vessel underway shall exhibit:
i. sidelights;
ii. a sternlight.
(b) In a sailing vessel of less than 20 metres in length the lights prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Rule may be combined in one lantern carried at or near the top of the mast where it can best be seen.
(c) A sailing vessel underway may, in addition to the lights prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Rule, exhibit at or near the top of the mast, where they can best be seen, two all-round lights in a vertical line, the upper being red and the lower green, but these lights shall not be exhibited in conjunction with the combined lantern permitted by paragraph (b) of this Rule.
(d)
i. A sailing vessel of less than 7 metres in length shall, if practicable, exhibit the lights prescribed in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Rule, but if she does not, she shall have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision.
ii. A vessel under oars may exhibit the lights prescribed in this Rule for sailing vessels, but if she does not, she shall have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision.
(e) A vessel proceeding under sail when also being propelled by machinery shall exhibit forward where it can best be seen a conical shape, apex downwards.

How to identify sailing vessel using machine for propulsion at night..
Apex downwards can be seen in day light if using machine
PDV lights
The first section with power driven vessels rule23 it doesnt state the size of the vessel? Do we assume this is over 50m?
The default is 2 masthead lights.
One light for
If the sailing vl is less than 7m, can she exhibit all round red and green light?
Rule 25(c) states that a sailing vessel, in addition to those lights in 25(a), MAY show the red over green all-round lights. This could be taken to include a sailing vessel less than 7 metres.
Rule 25(d) states that a sailing vessel less than 7 metres SHALL show those lights in 25(a) or (b) if practical - or otherwise show a white lantern or have torch... The question is then whether the requirement in 25(d) is considered to exclude 25(c) - however, I don't think a normal reading of the rule suggests this.
I think that is would be at least permissible for a 7m sailing vessel to show the lights of 25(c), as it would still be compliant with 25(d), and has the added advantage of providing positive identification of the vessels status as a sailing vessel. Furthermore, it would have visible 3 lanterns on any point of compass and therefore be more visible - which, for a small-slow unpowered boat, at night, could be advantageous.
Whilst, for the recreational skipper, seeing such an unfamiliar configuration may cause confusion. The general 'maxim' of, "avoiding vessels showing extra lights", should cause boaters to be more cautious around you. Thus achieving the desired intent. Those that are familiar with red-over-green signal will know what you are, and behave accordingly. The shortness of you mast should quickly become apparent in reveal your size to others... In this case, knowing WHAT you are is more important than knowing how BIG you are.
What lights shall sailboat (sailing vessel using engine) exhibit?
We have the same question in mind. I guess I found an answer. If a sailing vessel is also being propelled by a machinery, it is considered power-driven since power driven is defined as ANY vessel (including sailing vessel) propelled by machinery. With that, Rule 23.a, Rule 23.d.i. and Rule 23.ii may apply depending on the length of the sailing vessel. Either we might see one mast head light or one all-round white light, plus sidelights and sternlight.
@@romanitomozo1460 Exactly, if it propelled by machinery then is considered as a power-driven vessel underway, and shall exhibit:
- A masthead light forward;
- A second masthead light, abaft and higher then the 1st if it is more than 50m in lenght (can also have a second masthead light if it is under 50m, but it is not mandatory);
- Side lights;
- Stern light.
Same lights as for a powered vessel. Sidelights, Stern-light, and Masthead-light. Essentially, all the same lights as when normally sailing, with the addition of a white 225 degree light which must be minimum 1 metre above the sidelights... (this requirement prohibits use of mastead light with the tricolor configuration).
What will be the light for sailing vessel at anchor
Same as any other vessel at anchor. White all-round light. This could be a built-in light at the top of mast, however, a hanging lantern hoisted part-way up on the forestay is better seen.
There is no such thing as a ‘sailing vessel at anchor’.
If it’s ‘at anchor’ it’s not sailing.
Light signal for sailing vessel propelled by machinery?
Not stated in the Rules.
We assume the same as a power-driven vessel.
