The flying sheets issue is now resolved. Here is the reply I got after posting on the harbour's own forum

Well spotted - we have updated the website wording to match the Harbour News. If now reads:
3/00 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions
Under Byelaw No. 10, these regulations apply to the harbour and to vessels navigating therein. The maximum fine for contravention is £1000. Because of the considerable traffic in the harbour, mariners are to pay particular attention to:-
a) keeping to the starboard side of the channel
b) reducing speed and if necessary altering course in plenty of time if the giving way vessel;
c) if under power and sail displaying a black cone point down.
The colregs assert that an inverted cone should be displayed however letting sheets fly may be helpful in appropriate conditions until the master is able to hoist the cone.

I guess we'll have to dig the old cone out from the bilges after all.
