🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Narrow Channels (Rule 9 INLAND) • Inland whistle signals for overtaking – different from International • Meaning of prolonged blast vs short blast in maneuvering and warning signals

💭 Think About

• First decide: in a narrow channel, when you want to overtake another power-driven vessel, what does Inland Rules require you to do before you actually start the maneuver? • Think about how Inland overtaking signals are structured: which part of the signal tells the other vessel which side you intend to pass on? • Ask yourself: in Inland waters, are the prolonged blasts used more for maneuvering intentions, or for warning/position signals in restricted visibility and bends?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in the Inland Rules that overtaking in a narrow channel uses a combination of prolonged and short blasts, not just short blasts alone. • Verify which signal pattern corresponds specifically to "I intend to overtake you on your starboard side" under Inland Rules. • Check that the signal you choose is indeed described as an overtaking signal in a narrow channel, not as a meeting or crossing signal.
