[Public-List] anchor light

[Gordon Laco]

Good point about the position of an anchor light....  we hang ours from the end of the boom.

Your main threat when at anchor is a speedboat, and my experience of them is that their operators rarely look up... and if they do, are unlikely to associate a light high in the air with the object below it.

    Americo,
    
    The anchor light is an AquaSignal 20
    https://www.aquasignal.com.au/series-20/ .  It and the bow light came with
    the boat.
    
    Recently purchased an solar powered, with battery, LED light to hang from
    the backstay a bit above head height for use as an anchor light when there
    are other boats around.  The idea being that a light about head height from
    the deck is more likely to be seen by a helmsman maneuvering than one 40'
    up  the mast.

    At a more remote anchorage or underway, the masthead lights are more
    visible as Marcelo mentions above.
