Sound Signals Cockpit Card, COLREGs Whistle and Fog Signals PDF
Every whistle, bell and gong signal at the helm, drawn so the rhythm you see is the rhythm you sound.
Face one, vessels in sight (Rule 34): starboard, port and astern blasts with top down manoeuvre art, the five blast wake up signal, narrow channel overtaking and agreement signals, and the blind bend exchange
Face two, restricted visibility (Rule 35): making way and stopped, the hampered vessel group, manned tows, pilot identity, and the bell and gong routines at anchor and aground
Every blast drawn on a one second tick ruler, short blasts and 4 to 6 second prolonged blasts to true scale
Rule 32 timings and Rule 33 equipment thresholds (whistle 12 m, bell 20 m, gong 100 m) on the card
Print double sided, laminate, keep it at the helm; A4 and US Letter editions included
Sound signals are the part of the rules you have to produce under pressure, with another vessel closing. This card turns every signal into a picture you can read in one glance and copy on the whistle.
Face one covers vessels in sight of one another, face two the fog signals, so the two situations never blur together. Fact checked against COLREGs Rules 32 to 35 as amended, including the 2003 equipment amendments.
