Yes, because when you’re motoring the steaming light must be above the
navigation lights. So, either the tricolour and no steaming light, or steaming light with deck-level nav lights.
Our boat only has a masthead nav light, so we’re illegal when we are motoring at night. No one has stopped us for that, but if we were ever in a
collision while motoring at night I assume our fault would be increased as we don’t have
legal lights.
