Re: NT boaters - know the rules quiz
Years ago I took a laptop to the local fishing club for people to test their skills.
Not one person passed the test – these people had been driving boats for many years. A couple of them even held licences and one was a coxswain
Scary really

Re: NT boaters - know the rules quiz
If that quiz is right you must have an all round white light as well as red/green light whilst under way at night? Thought it was just the red and green....

Re: NT boaters - know the rules quiz
Good thread Matt , I actually passed this time.
But knowing the rules is one thing , Negligence is another .

Re: NT boaters - know the rules quiz
Ive found that you cant rely on the all round light up here anymore. Ive had some very close calls with drunk skippers
I now use a hi vis strobe that flashes every second when im anchored or out to sea at night.

Under way = Not at anchor, made fast to the shore, or aground - if you are
drifting, you are under way

Re: NT boaters - know the rules quiz
Some NT boaters must have an exemption because they dont have any lights showing
