WHISTLE, HORN, AND BELL (SIGNALING DEVICES)
 |
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain
circumstances. Meeting, crossing and overtaking situations described in the
Navigation Rules section are examples of when sound signals are required.
Recreational vessels are also required to sound signals during periods of
reduced visibility.
Vessels 26 feet and larger must carry an efficient whistle or horn or other sound-producing mechanical appliance capable of producing signals. The requirement to carry a bell in
international waters was recently dropped. |
