My Beneteau First 235 only has a masthead light with stacked
lights; red on bottom, green, then white on top. I do have the ability to turn on just the white or just the colored or all three.
My question is this: all the regulations I have found say that a light of this sort is "optional" and must be accompianied by the standard side
lights, and white stern light.
Why didn''t the manufacturer or the previous owners have these other
lights if this is the rule? Or am I interpreting the rule incorrectly, and the one set of
lights is all I need?
