It is more complex than that.
A power driven vessel under 12 meters can use an all-around white light in lieu of masthead and stern. Over 12 but less than 50 meters it must have masthead and stern. Over 50 and it needs two masthead lights and a stern light. And various types of power driven vessels such as tugs and fishing boats or pilot boats cannot use an all-around white light as navigation lights regardless of being less than 12 meters. The complexity is why it is a good idea to have a copy of the COLREGs, or at least one of the laminated cards you buy at West Marine, on your boat.
