I have a 50 foot sailboat, based in USA, sometimes sail to Canada and
Mexico.
Is a bell required, if I have a horn?
I'm tired of having this brass bell thing in the way, the horn works
fine.. I use the horn in fog, have never used the bell. Will the
homeland security gestapo crucify me if I'm boarded without a bell?
Like Dave said, read the colregs. They are your friend.

Your bell must be EXACTLY the right pitch too. If it is just a little
off, you get massive fines. HOWEVER, if you send the bell and $500,
we will test the bell and tell you if it is ok.
I just put mine in the mail!!
