You see red and white lights on another boat. What do these lights tell you?
The red light would be the port steaming light and the white one the masthead light. The other vessels head would be at an oblique angle to you. It depends on the vessels relative bearing on what your reaction should be but it would need to be kept under observation at the very least.

When does a sailboat have right?
When two sailboats meet, the one on starboard tack (wind coming across starboard or right side) has the right of way. If both boats are on the same tack, the boat that is downwind, or to "leeward" has the right of way. Sailboats have right of way over all power boats, except vessels constrained by their draft, vessels with limited maneuverability, vessels towing and subs. When a sailboat meets a jet ski they should sail right through it and leave owners for dead.
What lights on a sail boat should be used at night?
ANY boat on the water at night must display three lights: A green light starboard (on the bow) a red light port (on the bow) and a white light on the stern, mounted higher than the bow lights.
