A vessel being propelled by sails and machinery must show a cone shape, point down, indicating that she does not have the right-of-way preference of a packet ship siddons sailing vessel vessel. Vessels aground should show three balls in a vertical line. (Vessels less than 12 meters in length need not comply with the above three requirements.) There are also various shape requirements for fishing vessels; pilot vessels; vessels restricted in ability to maneuver, such as dredges; and others.

On The Other Hand See Sailing Clothing:For the stowage of clothing you bring aboard, the skipper may assign you a special locker, which has been cleared for your convenience. Don't scatter gear and clothing all over the boat. Use the Locker provided, keep it orderly, and thus help the skipper keep things shipshape.
When a sailing clothing time is given, be there ahead of time. The skipper generally chooses a time with a purpose in mind the tides and current, normal weather patterns, the length of the planned run, etc. Meal times are set for the convenience of the galley hand. It is inconsiderate for a tardy guest to delay meals. In any event, it is bad manners to be late for a meal.
Sports for participation include hiking, fishing, bathing, sailing clothing, and, in winter, skiing (especially at Are), skijoring (being drawn on skis by a trotting horse), skate-sailing clothing and, most thrilling of all, ice yachting.
