NSW Maritime's new requirements for lights on rowing boats
No lights = No row
You must have two lights on your boat between sunset and sunrise, and when visibility is restricted. One light must be on the stern and one on the bow. Your lights must be visible from 1km away when
conditions are clear. Dim lights are not acceptable - if your batteries are nearly flat, buy new ones.
You must have all-round white lights, a flashing white light is acceptable if it flashes at least once per second. You may mask part of one light so it doesn't interfere with your
vision, but your second light must be visible from any direction. These requirements will be strictly enforced on the pontoon. All
rowers must familiarise themselves with the NSW Maritime new code of conduct.
