(remote) collapsible motoring cone

[homa]

I think they must work like an umbrella.
I have seen them on boats on the continent quite a bit.
Any one know where I can buy one?

On the same subject, because I've seen several variations, where do you hang your cone and which way up?

You do use one don't you?

It's an ice cream cone not a traffic cone /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Of course we all do. Funny how you rarely see one though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I wonder: If you painted the first couple of feet of your roller furling jib black on both sides would it qualify as a motoring cone? It's triangular shaped, if not actually conical, and it would be a simple system to deploy and would, therefore, be used.

Does that mean mean you only use your jib when motoring /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
