Rules of the Road USCG Question #56 (Set 1)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Your 18-meter vessel is propelled by sail and power. What action is required when the engine is stopped?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Remove the black cone shape from forward.

Rule 25(e) requires a vessel under sail and power (exhibiting a cone, apex downwards, forward) to display this day shape. When the engine is stopped, she is solely under sail and no longer considered a power-driven vessel, meaning the black cone must be removed.
