What must vessels less than 12m in length carry if not already fitted with a sound signalling appliance?

  1. A fitted bell

  2. A radar reflector

  3. A pealess whistle or a horn

  4. Two masthead lights

The correct answer is: A pealess whistle or a horn

Vessels less than 12m in length are not required by law to have a fitted bell, as it may not be a practical option for smaller vessels. Additionally, a radar reflector is not necessary for vessels that are less than 12m in length as they are not typically found in areas with heavy traffic or navigation. Two masthead lights are also not required for vessels less than 12m, as they typically only need one masthead light. Therefore, the most practical and necessary option for smaller vessels to effectively communicate with other vessels is by carrying either a pealess whistle or a horn, as they do not require a power source and can easily be used to signal other vessels.
