Oh wise Potterers, I seek your able assistance in settling a disagreement
between myself and my son. I must say, he has amassed some pretty
convincing evidence on his side, but I believe in the Potter Way (Tao of
Potter). Please help us find the true path.

Evan says that we must have a 360 degree masthead light for anchoring. He
has shown me several texts which state this is so. Is it true? Riptide
has one (disfunctional) white light on the front of the mast. Isn't this
adequate? Surely the factory equipment is O.K.? I mean, the switch says
ANCHOR. What gives?

Good sailing to all,
