We learn to manoeuvre a car and the rules of the road on land, it’s the same for a boat.

The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972, often abbreviated to Col Regs, are the worldwide rules of the road on the water.

The way I learned them

  • Combine patterns
  • Study the basics (port, starboard, stern light)
  • Study the sets that show ‘not under command’ and ‘restricted in ability to manoeuvre’, etc
  • Understand how they work when you put them together

That meant I didn’t have to remember every individual scenario but interpret what I saw by using the core knowledge and ‘sets’ of lights combined together. Read more here…
