Required Lights: Unpowered Boats Less Than 65.6 Feet When Underway

Unpowered boats are sailing boats or boats that are paddled, poled, or rowed.

If less than 65.6 feet long, these boats must exhibit the lights as shown in the illustration. The required lights are:

• Red and green sidelights visible from a distance of at least two miles away—or if less than 39.4 feet long, at least one mile away—on a dark, clear night.
• A sternlight visible from a distance of at least two miles away.
