🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (sound signals for altering course, overtaking, doubt, and danger) • Difference between maneuvering signals (1, 2, or 3 blasts) and danger/doubt signal (5 or more short and rapid blasts) • Responsibilities when you are the vessel being overtaken and you do NOT agree that the maneuver is safe

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you do NOT understand or do NOT agree with another vessel’s intentions, which signal are you required to use under the Rules? • Which of these options clearly tells vessel "B" that you think the proposed overtaking is unsafe, instead of simply proposing your own maneuver? • In both International and Inland Rules, what sound is used to indicate doubt or danger, not a specific course change?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 34 what one, two, and three short blasts each mean and when they are used • Identify which signal in Rule 34 is specifically described as the danger or doubt signal • Make sure your choice provides a clear, positive indication that you do not agree the overtaking is safe, rather than remaining silent or suggesting a different course change
