A white flare up to be shown in time to avoid collision ie a flashlight, headlamp etc. This can be shown towards the vessel and in addition I use it to shine on my hull letting the approaching vessel know what I am. 2. Use a white stern light with port and starboard running lights. A non-motorized vessel doesn't show a white light forward. At night that is the way other vessels can determine if a vessel is motorized or not. Showing a 360 degree white light by itself would say you were at anchor. A 360 degree white light shown with running lights would show you to be a power driven vessel since you would be showing white within the same area as your running lights.
