Hello fellow mariners, How did you get on with the day shapes question? 

Here are my thoughts.

In the order they were given

Fishing vessel  
Vessel Not Under Command  
Vessel Restricted in Ability to Manoeuvre  
Vessel Constrained by Draught  
Vessel Carrying out Diving Operations  
Vessel Aground  
Vessel Towing length of tow over 200m

 

Vessel towing partially submerged object over than 200m

 

Rule 18 is the reference rule for the responsibilities between vessels. 
I use the mnemonic - New Reels Catch Fish So Purchase Some
N - Not Under Command
R - Restricted in Ability to Manoeuvre 
C - Constrained by Draught
F - Fishing Vessels
S - Sailing Vessels
P - Power Driven Vessels
S - Sea Planes
 
Have a great day
