What is Proper light configuration at night boating?

Proper light configuration for night boating is crucial for safety and navigation. Vessels must display specific navigation lights: a red light on the port (left) side, a green light on the starboard (right) side, and a white stern light, along with a white masthead light if the vessel is over 7 meters. Additionally, all lights should be visible from specific angles and distances to ensure other boaters can identify the type and direction of the vessel. Following these guidelines helps prevent collisions and enhances overall safety on the water at night.
