    Hi,

    I am looking at 80m newbuild right now that will use one so I don't know where you get the info that they are no longer allowed.

    Hi,

    Ask the yard for the approved Navigation Light drawing.

    Assuming this is for a foremast there should be a note on the drawing stating what is not approved, it will often appear as line of text and numbers that will refer to a letter that accompanies the drawings.
