Blow the danger/doubt signal? What's that?

I'll give you my answer.

I would hold course and speed. Then . . .

I would blow the danger/doubt signal on the horn and
prepare myself to take evasive action to avoid a collision
in case the kite boarder did not get out of the way.

Technically I am not the stand-on vessel because the
kite boarder has no status under the COLREGS but
the COLREGS to place a high priority on avoiding
collisions so I would take action to avoid a collision
if necessary.

Hey, I went to bed!

Well done!

So what tack is a sailboat on when head to wind?

Dear me!

I asked a simple question about "stand on status" and you have tried to use
it to demonstrate that I know nothing about the Coll Regs. Pathetic!!


Why were you unable to answer my simple question?

Let's face it, Oz. I don't pretend to be an expert on all matters related
to sailing.

So, what does it matter if there is something that I don't know??

OTOH, you present yourself as an expert. Unfortunately, you seem unable to
back up your arrogant attitude with any substance.

Now, you can prove me wrong by answering the original question.

What would *you* do if you were at the helm of a yacht, on starboard tack,
if you were on a collision course with a (port tack) kite surfer?

Five or more blasts on the horn in rapid succession is the danger/
doubt signal. Read the COLREGS.

I did not say prolonged blasts did I? This leaves
short blast as there is no other type delineated
in the Rules.
