I probably should have not included the above, or should have been
explicit that only power driven vessels use the whistle signals to make
for passing. I suppose that it is so infrequent that a sailboat
overtakes a power boat.
Having said that, any situation that is not explicitly covered in the
rules is automatically one of special circumstances and even sailboats
are not immune to that rule.
