Hi Judy,
The red lights are part of the civil aviation regs. Another example
would be tall buildings near an airport... nothing is stated in the
building code regarding red lights on a roof, but you'll see them only
on these buildings tall enough and when built near an airport. For a
boat, they're only meant to be displayed when anchored or moored near an
airport. I don't know the height requirement for when this kicks in off
the top.
Fair winds,
Mike Lahrkamp

In St. Barths a few days ago there were 6 boats with red anchor
lights, including the Sea Cloud that had 4 red anchor lights on her
4 masts. I can't buy the idea that these are required for aviation
reasons. COLREGS would have to be amended for this to be a legal
requirement for marine vessels. Anyway, these lights are in the
Budget Marine catalog on Page 179, left column in lower area.
Also saw Mirabella V displaying a red anchor light recently.
Gorgeous, huge, huge, huge sailboat.
