Rule 25:

(e) A vessel proceeding under sail when also being propelled by
machinery shall exhibit forward where it can best be seen a conical
shape,
apex downwards. A vessel of less than 12 meters in length is not
required
to exhibit this shape, but may do so.


Those damn rules should be read, read, and re-read. Something new is
uncovered every time. I shan't worry about not displaying my cone in
future!

Yep... I read an abbreviated version of (e) at one point, and I almost
bought a day shape.
