Flying an anchor ball is something only a few boats do, We’ve noticed English boats do very religiously, but then their insurance demands that they do it, mostly.

The only reason not to fly an anchor ball is because its a hassle to put one up, so perhaps a quick setup with bungy cord and locking cleats might make all the difference.

On Waiata it literally takes 30secs to fly the anchor ball, so we always put it up. Create a quick fix anchor ball and you’ll never not fly it when at anchor.
