Q

INLAND ONLY Your power-driven vessel is overtaking another power-driven vessel in a narrow channel. You wish to overtake her on her starboard side. Which whistle signal should you sound?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (specific signals for overtaking INLAND) • Difference between signals for meeting/crossing versus overtaking in a narrow channel • How many and what type of blasts indicate ‘I intend to overtake you on your starboard side’ under INLAND rules

💭 Think About

• First, decide: are you dealing with a normal crossing/meeting situation, or the special overtaking in a narrow channel situation under Inland Rules? • Ask yourself: in Inland waters, does ‘I intend to leave you on my port or starboard side’ use short blasts or prolonged blasts, and how many? • Look at the options and match them to: (1) danger signal, (2) general maneuvering signal, and (3) specific Inland overtaking-intention signal

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice corresponds to the danger signal (used when in doubt) and eliminate it if you are not in doubt or danger. • Identify which signal pattern (number and length of blasts) is used specifically for overtaking intentions in Inland narrow channels – not for open water meeting/crossing. • Confirm that the correct signal tells the other vessel: “I intend to overtake you on your starboard side,” meaning you will pass along which side of the vessel being overtaken.
