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?

Fresh Breezes- Doug King

None?

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

Joe did get a lot of them wrong. He must have been hung over or something.
He's usually sharp as a tack.

On the other hand, I only missed one or two and I did not spend two days
looking up the answers like you did, Jeff. I answered strictly from memory
and experience, both of which I have more of than you, Shen44 and otnmbrd
combined.

This used to be part of the Inland Rules ..... don't think it still exist.

If your answers are any indication, I'd say your experience and memory
need work ..... coupled with the fact that you should have a copy of the
rules on your boat and only a fool would answer some of those questions
without checking the implications of the wording ..... course......nuff
said.
