🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland sound signals for meeting, crossing, and overtaking situations • The specific whistle signals for overtaking another power-driven vessel under Inland Rules • Difference between prolonged blasts (usually for maneuvering in restricted visibility or leaving a dock) and short blasts (maneuvering/intent signals)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In Inland waters, what signal do you use to indicate the side on which you intend to overtake another vessel? • Look at which choices use short blasts only versus those that mix prolonged and short blasts—which type is normally used for simple overtaking intentions in clear conditions? • Think about how many short blasts are used to indicate starboard versus port in Inland meeting/crossing signals, and see if that same pattern applies here.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Inland Rules that overtaking signals are given with short blasts, not with combinations of prolonged and short blasts for normal, in-sight situations. • Confirm which number of short blasts is associated with a maneuver to starboard vs. a maneuver to port. • Make sure the signal you choose clearly communicates your intended passing side to the vessel being overtaken.
