Rule 28 allows a vessel constrained by her draught to additionally exhibit three all-round red lights in a vertical line, or a cylinder as a day shape, in addition to the lights prescribed for power-driven vessels in Rule 23.
Qui è mostrata un'illustrazione 3D interattiva. Lo stesso contenuto è descritto nel testo della regola e nei punti chiave qui sotto.
Recognition Sequence
Classify the vessel state first: underway, making way, stopped, at anchor, aground, towing, fishing, pilotage or special condition.
Read special lights vertically from top to bottom before using sidelights and sternlight to confirm aspect.
Then confirm the answer with the day shape, vessel length and any extra signal such as towing lights, deck illumination or a cylinder.
Exam Focus
Avoid identifying a vessel from one colour alone.
Many mistakes come from spotting a red light and guessing before checking the full pattern.
If the question mentions 'making way', 'underway but stopped', 'at anchor' or 'aground', that wording usually determines which extra lights or shapes appear.
