Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND How long is the duration of a prolonged blast of the whistle?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound and Light Signals – Rule 32 (Definitions) in the Navigation Rules • Difference between short blast and prolonged blast as defined (not how they’re used) • Same definitions apply to BOTH International and Inland rules

💭 Think About

• Look up the formal definition of a prolonged blast in Rule 32 and note the specific time range given there. • Compare that time range with the options and eliminate any that are clearly too short or too long based on that definition. • Remember that the definition is a range of seconds, not a single exact second value.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 32 that a short blast has its own, different time range so you don’t mix the two up. • Confirm that the time range for a prolonged blast is expressed as a minimum and maximum number of seconds. • Ensure you are using the definition section, not examples from maneuvering or restricted visibility rules.
