Did he have his inverted cone displayed?


People over here never fly an inverted cone. A few miles
away, in France,
everybody flies it when they are under engine.

Do you use it in the States?


No

Why yes we do. In fact there are a number of people who feel that it is
a symbol of much more than simply motor-sailing, they are the inverted
cone heads. I'm surprised you haven't heard of them, for a while they
had a TV show.

Yes, but as you no doubt recall, they were from France.

Check out the Lubec Channel in northern Maine just south of Campobello
island or Western Passage between Deere Island, New Brunswick and Moose
Island, Maine

I have sailed to France many times and have ever ever seen a motoring yacht
flying an inverted cone

That's quite alright. Now let's all go back to consuming mass quantities.

Sooooo ... your ColRegs are nothing to do with the "**International**
Regulations for the prevention of Collisions at Sea"????

Wrong, our ColRegs *are* the "Convention on the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea," I assume identical to
yours. The US also exercised its prerogative to create a slightly
modified version for use in Inland Waters.

Ahh... Now I think that I understand.

Your use of the word "outside" led me to think of "further offshore", when
you were referring to the waters "inshore" of the CollRegs line.

My mistake.

Did you look?

I've seen a couple, however it is possible that I noticed them and assumed
that they were commonplace.

I don't think that I have ever seen them in the Solent.

Actually, I think that time I was saying the most of the coast of
Maine is "outside the line" in the sense that it is covered by the
International Rules, not the Inland Rules.
