we live on the newmarket/parnell border and can occasionally hear the big boats blowing the horns
from racing in the inner-harbour am quite familiar with the behaviour but never really knew what they meant...other than lots of blasts when they were bearing down on you was bad
just now the sound of 3 short blasts carried up and over parnell rise
so looked it up
Three Short Blasts
This signal indicates that you are backing up.
makes sense, a big boat leaving the wharf and backing into the harbour would need to warn others what was happening
the racing one i was sort of aware of
5 Short Blasts
This horn signal indicates danger and can be used to communicate potential collision with another vessel.
It can also be used while approaching an oncoming vessel that you do not understand their intentions or are otherwise confused by their actions.
