Pre-Owned Yacht Video Spotlight:
2009 Hinckley 44 Talaria
DOWNEAST STAYING POWER From a distance, in profile, only a trained eye could tell the difference between a 2009 Hinckley 44 Talaria and a brand new Talaria 43 Mark III. The new version has a lot more tumble home in the stern quarters, larger air intakes on the cabin sides, but other than that, a foot more of beam is the most distinguishing characteristic – from a distance. The 2009 Talaria has aged well; the cozy, traditional interior of this boat looks none the worse for wear.

C. both sidelights of the vessel and her masthead light(s)
Rule 23, which deals with lights for power-driven vessels underway, states that a power-driven vessel must show a white masthead light forward, a second white masthead light abaft of and higher than the forward one (if over 50 meters), and red and green sidelights. In a head-on situation, you would see the vessel directly in front of you, which means you would see both her green (stbd) and red (port) sidelights, as well as her masthead light(s).
