Rule 24(g)(iv) states: "...if the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters an additional diamond shape where it can best be seen..."

Answer should be B, not D.

This rule is only referencing International waters. When that is the case, a partially submerged object must show a diamond shape at all times; when the length of tow exceeds 200 meters, a second dayshape is added, for a total of two diamonds. The answer is indeed D.

tricky question: Rule 24(g)(iv) requires diamond shape at the end, PLUS another diamond forward if greater than 200m tow. Emily rocks!
