I agree with Bill Bina and Andy on this....a tricolor can be used as a
substitute for deck running lights when under sail but not both at the
same time.
The advantage of the tricolor comes with coastal and/or offshore sailing:
1. to preserve the draw on the batteries......one (1) bulb versus
three (3) bulbs.
2. to be seen from a greater distance

Bob, a tricolor is indeed a substitute for deck level running lights.
But it may only be used while sailing. And it should never be used in
addition to deck level lights.

Joe: it is my understanding that a masthead tricolor is not a
substitute for deck-level running lights--it can and should be used
in addition.
