Relying only on having complying navigation lights, or anchor light, is often inadequate to ensure you have been seen when threatened with a collision. From talking to people who have faced this situation, A torch flashed in the direction of the navigating position on the threatening craft, plus then perhaps illuminating your sails, or structure, has then provoked the threatening vessel to then making out your nav lights or anchor light, and then making a required course change to avoid a collision. A solitary steady little red light on yacht slowly proceeding under sail in a vast empty ocean is easily missed by a big ship making good speed on the wide ocean. But a few flashes by a torch much less so.
