You are out on the water and foggy conditions you hear one prolonged blast plus 2 short blast every two minutes what does this sound signal me?
Rules of the Road. Rule 35, Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility. (C) A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, a vessel constrained by her draft, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing, and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel SHALL, sound at intervals of not more than two minutes three blast in succession, namely one prolonged followed by two short blast.
What sound signal should you hear for a sailboat in the fog?
It is the responsibility of the captain of the vessel to ensure that it can be detected when sailing in fog- nowadays this is mostly done by GPS and by the use of radio communication, but the skipper of a sailing vessel in foggy conditions should also use a foghorn of some kind, be it a hand-held horn powered by compressed air, or a more sophisticated electrical or pneumatic type that is installed on the vessel itself. There is no set type of audio signal to alert other mariners that a sailing vessel is in the vicinity- morse code is no longer used and most modern sailors don't understand it, so it would just be a general foghorn note.
IN periods of reduced visibility what equipment is essential to signal the vessel operator's intentions or position?
