When must you sound fog signals? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------------
---During periods of restricted visibility, such as extreme fog.
What must you do when you hear a fog signal? ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------If you hear the fog signal of a vessel you cannot
see, slow to a minimum speed until you are sure there is not a risk of
collision.
What is the fog signal for a power boat? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-------
----------One prolonged blast at intervals of not more than two minutes
What is the fog signal for a sail boat? ---------CORRECT ANSWER------------
-----One prolonged blast plus two short blasts at intervals of not more
than two minutes
,What are the three basic rules of navigation? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-
----------------1) Practice good seamanship - take all necessary action to
avoid collision, taking into account weather, vessel traffic, and limits of
other vessels.
2) Keep a proper lookout - using both sight and hearing, watch and
listen for other vessels, radio communications, navigational hazards,
and others involved in water activities.
3) Maintain a safe speed - safe speed is the speed that ensures you
have ample time to avoid collision and can stop within an appropriate
distance. Safe speed will vary depending on conditions such as wind,
water conditions, navigational hazards, visibility, surrounding vessel
traffic density, and the maneuverability or your boat or PWC. Always
reduce speed and navigate with extreme caution at night and when
visibility is restricted.
When should you take evasive action? ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------
-------When approaching another vessel whose intentions aren't clear
What is the stand-on vessel? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The
vessel that must maintain its course and speed unless it becomes
apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action.
, - If you must take action, do not turn toward the give-way vessel or
cross in front of it.
What is the give-way vessel? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The
vessel that is required to take early and substantial action to keep well
away from other vessels by stopping, slowing down, or changing
course.
- Avoid crossing in front of other vessels
- Any change in course and/or speed should be large enough to be
readily apparent to another vessel (A series of small changes should be
avoided).
What is the pecking order? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------1)
Vessels not under command (NUC)
2) Vessels with a restricted ability to maneuver (RAM)
3) Vessels that are constrained by their draft (CBD)
4) Commercial fishing vessels
5) Sailboats under sail
6) Power boats or runabouts
7) Sea planes and paddlers
