ill,
Only the battery part of the light has slugs and runs up the track, the light
itself gets higher than the halyard pulleys. Lionel -------- REPLY, Original

Wouldn't this be a problem? The anchor light is supposed to be a 360 degree
light. Hauling it up the track will have it only visible from most lines
except forward. Using my mast as a guide, this would provide me with something
like 270-280 degrees view astern unless it's wider than the mast. If it is
wider than the mast, then that puts up two side by side lights when seen from
forward, rather than the single anchor light.
