A. three short blasts B. one prolonged blast C. one prolonged blast and two short blasts D. two prolonged blasts C- one long and 2 shorts. BTW it doesn't matter if "the wind is abaft the beam." The sound signal for a vessel under sail remains the same no matter what point of sail she's on ;) Extra credit. How often should they be sounded? At intervals of not more than two minutes. What other conditions require this sound signal? This is the same sound signal given by a vessel Not Under Command, Restricted Ability to Maneuver, a vessel constrained by draft, a vessel pushing or towing, or actively engaged in fishing. BTW it's worth rememebring that the signals are somewhat different for vessels that are anchored, stopped, and aground. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

I like that kind of thinking. "In or near" is repeated often enough in the Rules. Shame on me for not thinking of that one too. CN |
Three blasts, one long followed by two short at intervals of not more than
three minutes. Vessels Not Under Command, Restricted In Ability To Manuever whether underway or at anchor, the aforementioned sailing vessel, vessel fishing whether underway or at anchor, vessel towing or pushing another.

Technically there is no defined 'long' blast. It is called a 'prolonged' blast. CN "Michael" wrote in message ...
