Hi Gary,
Too bad more people don't abide by this rule. You can bet the lawyers will
have a field day if there's an incident and the ball wasn't displayed. Seldom
used by small boats like ours in US waters, the anchor ball is commonly
displayed elsewhere in the world. I always use one in a large anchorage where
there is
traffic (more than a few boats). The ball is very helpful when entering a
crowded anchorage, especially during "busy" times when many boats are getting
underway or securing from sea. OTOH, I must confess, I seldom use the cone
when
motorsailing.

I used a collapsible one anchoring along the Tenn-Tom Waterway in order to
be legal in case a tow Captain wanted to yell at me but seldom see one used
anywhere. Someone once asked why I had painted my radar reflector black.
