The key here is "designated anchorage area." In any other location, it
would be required to display lights at all 4 corners, but here it's only
required to show 1.

Corollary... what sort & how many lights must an anchored or moored
sailing vessel display when in a designated anchorage zone?

What??? What rule is this? The "special anchorage rule" only applies
to vessels under 20 meters.

You may be right, I'll have to go look that one up. FWIW it used to be
the case that any vessel in a state or federal designated anchorage did
not have to show any lights. I think this is still the case for a couple
of spots near NC ports.

Don't ask the Coast Guard, they'll give you a ticket anyway.
