I have a flashlight on my dinghy that I use for motoring out to my boat at 
night through the mooring field. My sense is that this is legal according to:

A power-driven vessel of less than 7 metres (23.0 ft) whose maximum speed does 
not exceed 7 knots (13 km/h; 8 mph) must be capable of showing a white light

I want to make sure this is current and I am presuming that “capable of” would 
include a handheld flashlight.  I have read a few horror stories of people 
being cited by police for violating dinghy regulations and want to make sure I 
am legal or need an all around white light.  Dave
