What Color Is a Boat’s Sternlight?

By Matt Claiborne

The boat’s stern light is the rear-facing all-round white light.

This all-round white light fills the 360-degree arc started by the sidelights,

so its arc shall be 135 degrees centered aft.

Sidelights and stern lights should show between one and three miles, depending on the length of the vessel.
