As others have mentioned, the tri colour is used instead of, and not in addition to the other nav lights, when under sail. One advantage that has not been mentioned is that the mast head light is visible further. On a clear night you can see it while the rest of the hull is still over the horizon.

Is there a reason every one is using tri colors at the mast head? Is this in addition to the regular side lights and stern light
