Ref- Ron's reply. Bear in mind that the anchor light is only used when the vessel is at anchor or moored to a mooring buoy. It is normally hung in the rigging between the masthead and the stem, but this depends on the type of vessel. No other light would be displayed at this time. They are all steaming lights.

Hi Richard,
I agree with Nerys.

Three white lights on the mast.

If it looks right it probably is.

As far as I know, a tug with a tow of under 200metres would display two horizontal white lights at the masthead, and if the tow is over 200 metres, three horizontal white lights. In both cases the white stern light will have a yellow light above it.

St Canute build help

Hello everyone,
I am coming to the end of a 3 year build of the St Canute Tug but need some help with the colour of the three lights on the forward mast, there are two lanterns and one light on the top of the mast. Would anyone know the colour sequence of these lights, l think the one on the top of the mast is ‘white’ (?)
Many thanks
Richard
