one masthead light and one towing light in vertical line. Answer is (1) towing light, not 2 towing mast head lights. Protest. Question should be how many towing lights in addition to masthead light.

Sorry, but you're wrong, CaaptKeene. See Rule 24(a) of the Regulations.

NO, QUESTION SHOULD BE 'HOW MANY MASTHEAD LIGHTS', WHAT THE HELL IS A TOWING MASTHEAD LIGHT
