Английская Википедия:Day shapes
Day shapes are mast head signals visually indicating the status of a vessel to other vessels on navigable waters during daylight hours whether making-way, anchored, or aground. These signals consist of a set of simple geometric shapes—ball, cylinder, cone, and diamond—that are displayed, hung from a mast, in a prescribed manner to indicate a vessel's operational status; some of these signals may be somewhat involved.[1] The meanings of the shapes are defined by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (ColRegs).
Day shapes are black in color and their sizes are determined by the ColRegs; for example, the size of the ball is not less than Шаблон:Convert. The vertical distance between shapes is at least Шаблон:Convert. Vessels of less than Шаблон:Convert length may use shapes of smaller size commensurate with the size of the vessel.[2] Day shapes of standard and reduced sizes are both commercially available. Day shapes are commonly constructed from a light weight frame covered with fabric and are designed to be collapsible for ease of storage.
Day shapes are designed to correspond to the various navigation lights required to be shown at night, and are required to be complied with by day from sunrise to sunset. The appropriate lights may also be displayed during the day at times of restricted visibility or other necessary circumstances.[3] Vessels under 7 meters are generally not required to display day shapes even if they are required to display lights at night.[4]
A square black flag displayed over the ball may be used as a distress signal.[5]
Some of the most common signals are as follows:
| Navigation status | Day shape | Restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Vessel under sail and power | Cone | > 12 m |
| Anchored | Ball | > 7 m (where other vessels normally navigate) |
| Constrained by draft | Cylinder | |
| Aground | 3 balls (vert. line) | > 12 m |
| Not under command | 2 balls (vert. line) | > 12 m |
| Restricted in ability to maneuver | 1 ball, 1 diamond, 1 ball | > 12 m (except dive boats) |
| Fishing (commercial) | 2 cones (vert. line) | > 20 m (but must display nets or trawling basket shape) |
| Vessel towing | Diamond | Tow > 200 m |
| Vessel being towed | Diamond | Tow > 200 m |
| Minesweeping | 3 balls | Naval |
