What should you do when operating a boat in conditions of reduced visibility?
When sailing a boat in reduced visibility you should turn on and use your lights. The light s should be in the correct position and set to the correct code. If you have radar, use this to make sure you are not on a collision course with a boat with out any lights. If you believe it is to risky to navigate, anchor up for the night making sure you have the correct lights and signals.
What lights are on a sailboat?
Running lights are on the bow (front) and are green to starboard (right) and red to port (left). A white stern (rear) light completes the three lights necessary on a sailboat. All three can also be together at the top of the mast, and are called a tri-light. If the boat can motor there will also be a steaming light half-way up the mast that must be on while motoring at night.
