Eliminate,
You only required to have side lights and an all around 360 light. If you choose to keep the stern light you will have to make sure the mast light has a 225 degree arc of visiility while underway making way and then switch to 360 while at anchor with the side lights off.

A vessel less than 12 meters 39.4 feet may show one all around white light with sidelights in lieu of the lights otherwise required.

Eliminate,
Yes and here is a link for the wrist bands:

The height of the mast light is determined by range of visibility. On a vessel less than 12 meters 39.4 ft it must be seen from a minimum of 2 NM. You must also consider reflection issues as you want your helm area as dark as possible to be able to maintain proper night vision.
This is why removable poles are used most often. The higher the light the greater the range and less aft reflection.
Thanks for your comments regarding the school. We have to find a better to communicate what the school is really about. I think many people think of it as traffic school or basic boating when it is so much more.
BeSafe,
