Being as how the people who need to hear your horns the most are going
to be inside the pilothouses of their go-fast boats with all external
sound drowned out by their engines, radios, and stereo going full blast,
the only real use for a fancy set of air-horns any more is to blow them
in the marina so everyone can hear what a fancy set of air-horns you
have.

Marin--
I disagree: When running in confined waters (as in ICW, etc) I am frequently
overtaking sailboats that do not monitor VHF or acknowledge calls, for
reasons that we do not need to go into here (I think we beat that one to death last
week!). So unless I get a wave or at least see the skipper look back I will
give an appropriate overtaking signal--It always gets their attention!
