BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which shape shall a 22-meter sailing vessel exhibit when it is being propelled by machinery during daylight hours?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) black cone.
According to the International and Inland Navigation Rules, a sailing vessel of 20 meters or more in length that is being propelled by machinery during the day must exhibit a black cone, point up, as the shape signal. This is specified in Rule 25(c) of the Navigation Rules.
The other answer choices are incorrect because a black diamond is not a recognized shape signal, a basket is not a recognized shape, and a black ball is the shape signal for a vessel at anchor, not a vessel being propelled by machinery.
