[Rhodes22-list] anchor light

[Leland]

Joe,

I have a stern light you can see from the back and sides of the boat and a
light attached to the mast that you can see from the front and sides of the
boat, giving you 360 degrees of illumination.  According to this that's all
you need:

I'm sure Rose would disagree but Stan is rarely wrong.
