Chapter 3
An overtaking boat is burdened, and is not the priveleged
craft, even though it approaches the danger zone of the
overtaken boat.
The overtaking boat first signals with a single blast if that
boat desires to pass on the starboard side of the boat ahead,
or a double blast if passing to port. The overtaken craft
responds with the same signal if it is safe, or with the danger
signal (5 short blasts or more) if unsafe. The boat overtaking
must not pass unless the appropriate signals are sounded.
