	COLREGs, Lights and Standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
		Colregs define exactly which type of light is to be used when at anchor: an all round white light is to be shown, if the vessel is less than 50m in length.
		Colregs also define very clearly the range, colour and angular distribution of the light.
		Some additional requirements to Colregs are as follows: - maximum vertical light variation is 1.5 - strain relief on hoistable lights for the cable of 50N (about 11 lbs) - a means of indicating the user if minimum range of light has been reached

	Introduction
		The Rules (commonly called 72 COLREGS) are part of the Convention, and vessels flying the flags of states ratifying the treaty are bound to the rules.
		The 72 COLREGS were developed by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) which in May 1982 was renamed the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
		COLREGS Demarcation lines are contained in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 80 (33 CFR 80), the Navigation Rules manual, or here.

	NOAA Project - COLREGS Navigation - Michael Benjamin
		This project is concerned with the in-field autonomous operation of unmanned marine vehicles in accordance with convention for safe and proper collision avoidance as prescribed by the Coast Guard Collision Regulations (COLREGS).
		Although the COLREGS is a document suitable for guiding human behavior, it is not suitable for direct input into a vehicle control system.
		The objective functions capture the behavior prescribed by the COLREGS rule (in the peak areas of the function), but also capture its flexibility (in the non-peak areas).

	Roger Boshier - Preventing Collisions
		COLREGS constitute "rules of the road" for mariners and, most importantly, specify what lights, shapes and sound signals must be used in various conditions.
		Despite their importance, the COLREGS are an arcane part of nautical training and bad teaching is legion.
		Regrettably, too much marine education, particularly that concerning the COLREGS, excessively foregrounds nautical traditions and the unchallenged authority of the "old man" (personified in the instructor) and renders invisible contributions of learners who have experience at sea and, by their presence, demonstrate they have something to offer.

		The Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (72 COLREGS) was adopted at London, October 20, 1972, to replace the 1960 Collision Regulations.
		The 72 COLREGS entered into force July 15, 1977, and there are currently over 100 countries party to the convention.
		The 72 COLREGS were previously amended in November 1981 and in November 1987 to clarify technical language in the existing regulations.

	The rules of the road - collision regulations
		The International Regulations for Avoiding Collisions at Sea, also known as COLREGS, but more commonly referred to as The Rules of the Road or just “The Rules” clearly spell out to the boater their duties in any type of boating situation.
		COLREGS, in addition to the traffic-type rules, also provides the basis for many of the other boating requirements; class, category and use of lights, sounds signals, day shapes, and emergency signals.
		COLREGS in Rule 12 through Rule 19 defines either the situation or the conduct of all vessels in almost all conditions.

		C.O.L.R.E.G.S. The "Rules of the Road" or Collision Avoidance Regulations (COLREGS) were designed to give direction to vessels in order to set a standard that everyone could follow in order to prevent collisions of two or more vessels.
		We wish to acknowledge the COLREGS (copyright acknowledgement source colregs) which are used here to avoid any conotations.
		The COLREG rules provide right of way for vessels that are constrained by draft or manoverability.

		Rule 24(b) of the 72 COLREGS states that when a pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed ahead are rigidly connected in a composite unit, they are regarded as a power-driven vessel and must exhibit the lights under Rule 23.
		Such a barge may be lighted as a vessel at anchor in accordance with Rule 30, or may be lighted on the corners in accordance with 33 CFR 88.13.
		The 72 COLREGS shall apply on the harbors, bays and inlets on the east coast of Maine from International Bridge at Calais, ME, to the southwesternmost extremity of Bald Head at Cape Small.

		1.3 One of two principle inconsistencies from the ColRegs arise, the first with respect to the placement of a single masthead light in vessels of between 20 to 50 metres in length in the final three-quarter length of the vessel.
		Annex 1 (3)(d) of ColReg requires where there is a single masthead light it is to be fitted forward of amidships.
		Rule 23 (a)(ii) of ColReg states that vessels over 50 metres in length shall exhibit a masthead light forward with second one aft.

		Good grief — that would mean all the safety regs have gone, you don’t have to sail the course, and there could be protests for the weirdest things like not carrying the correct size bell made of corrosion resistant material and sounding the correct level of decibels.
		Some years back the ColRegs pertaining to sailing vessels were actually amended to bring them more into line with the RRS.
		In those days replacing some of the RRS with certain ColRegs made sense, but that is no longer necessary.

	Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREGs)
		One of the most important innovations in the 1972 COLREGs was the recognition given to traffic separation schemes - Rule 10 gives guidance in determining safe speed, the risk of collision and the conduct of vessels operating in or near traffic separation schemes.
		The COLREGs include 38 rules divided into five sections: Part A - General; Part B - Steering and Sailing; Part C - Lights and Shapes; Part D - Sound and Light signals; and Part E - Exemptions.
		There are also four Annexes containing technical requirements concerning lights and shapes and their positioning; sound signalling appliances; additional signals for fishing vessels when operating in close proximity, and international distress signals.

	RoguePaddler - Paddling in Ports and Kayaking around Commercial Shipping Traffic
		These rules, known as the International Collision Regulations or "Colregs" apply to all users of the seaways, and in many respects are similar to the laws that govern our road use.
		The Colregs dictate that a small self-propelled vessel with a speed of less than seven knots display a single white light with 360-degrees of visibility.
		The Colregs state that, "where one vessel is obliged to give way, the other should stand on"; however these rules technically apply to power driven vessels and should be interpreted with common sense.

	Ships’ routeing and related matters Compliance with COLREGs in traffic separation schemes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
		This paper explains that the application of the 1972 COLREG Rule 10 and the establishment of Traffic Separation Schemes in narrow waterways are essential for the improvement of the safety of navigation.
		In order to eliminate the risk of collision in such areas, Rule 1(d) of the 1972 COLREG stipulates that the establishment of Traffic Separation Schemes based on the principle of preventing vessels from crossing traffic separation lanes are adopted.
		7 Founded on the principle of ‘improving maritime safety’, the IMO cannot permit the deregulation of the 1972 COLREGs Rule 10 and Traffic Separation Schemes, and return to the implementation of provisions of Rule 9 in areas where a small number of vessels are not able to comply with TSSs.

	BoatUS BoatTECH Guides: Running Lights
		Called the Inland Navigation Rules or Unified Rules, the U.S. regulations require all boats built after December 24, 1981, to be in compliance.
		No retrofit is necessary on boats built before this date if they are in compliance with previous inland rules.
		However, in international waters, these boats would not be in compliance with the COLREGS and could be deemed liable in an accident.

		The ColRegs form an integral part of the Racing Rules of Sailing, which govern the conduct of yacht and dinghy racing.
		The Convention on International Regulations for Preventing Collisons at Sea was adopted by the IMO member countries on 20 October 1972 and the regulations were brought into force on 15 July 1977.

		Using the COLREGS line is a slight deviation from the MATRT's consensus recommendation.
		The 72 COLREGS line was selected instead of the line recommended by the MATRT because the 72 COLREGS line is a well known and widely published line of demarcation.
		The actual difference between the COLREGS line and the MATRT recommended line is a seaward shift of approximately 1 nautical mile.

	COLREGS
		Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.
		The COLREGS have little provision for the use of the radar, but in the short future the introduction of an 'Automatic Identification System (AIS) could change all this and force a drastic revision of the Rules.
		Small crafts safety could be strongly enhanced by the AIS as finally it will allow the large ship to detect and identify their eventual priority status at a great distance.

	sidelights mounted on spreaders? - Boat Design Forums
		Sorry to ask another "COLREGS lawyer" question, but this question has both regulatory and practical issues that may be of interest.
		I know it would be a pain to run the 12v power to them, but at least they'd be away from wild booms and boathooks, not to mention green water.
		Location: Riccelli Restorations - Eustis, FL I don't know of a specific area of COLREGS that may address this question, but I was thinking a lapping jib could blanket a spreader mounted nav lamp and that is covered in COLREGS.

		Interference with the special function of the vessel occurs when installation or use of lights, shapes, or sound-signaling appliances under 72 COLREGS prevents or significantly hinders the operation in which the vessel is usually engaged.
		Each vessel under the 72 COLREGS, except the vessels of the Navy, is exempt from the requirements of the 72 COLREGS to the limitation for the period of time stated in Rule 38 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) if:

	Boating Definitions and Mnemonics
		Most of these mnemonic are intended to help you remember important parts of the COLREGS, although some are specific to inland waterways in the United States (which have slightly different rules).
		When the mnemonics conflict with your interpretation of the COLREGS, remember that the COLREGS are the law and the mnemonics are only a memory aid!
		Note: If you are exactly head-on, or very nearly so, the COLREGS prefer that you turn to starboard (single blast).

		The Division of Marine Fisheries uses as the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the inside sounds a federally designated line.
		This line delineates "International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea" (COLREGS Lines of Demarcation) which were established by the Coast Guard to designate where "International Rules of the Road" separate from "U.S. Inland Rules".
		Individual lines were established where practical, by physical objects like fixed aids to navigation or prominent points of land, because they are readily discernable by eye rather than by instruments.
