Fog horn sounds...

[matnoo]

What is it called 'the fog horn code?!' Ive typed fog horn into google and seems to bring up that damn rooster foghorn leghorn and umpteen sites where I can buy a football claxton!!!

It's all covered in the IRPCs.

The sound signals are all in the "collision regulations". Part D Sound and Light Signals. suggest you buy the RYA booklet G2

Mat,
See Col Regs under Cruising Resources on my website. Rule 33 through 35, I believe.

It is complete with all the annexes and you can be reasonably certain that it is the latest version incorporating the recent ammenments.

Personally I would not trust a site that cannot even get the title correct although pvb's link is to an easy to understand and digest version. I still seriously recommend the RYA booklet G3 which has explanatory footnotes and at £4.99 is the cheapest and handiest source of referrece to have.
