The word average can be removed too as I only put it in there to stop arguments beforehand. I'm comfortable stating 99/100 boaters hitting the water this weekend haven't got a clue.

Well, I don't pretend to remember everything so I have a couple of visual cues in my pilothouse. I suspect you already know the red port side has one bell.
This works for me, and perhaps you as well?

No indication of collision ... no toot ... unless I recognize you as a pal or wish to acknowledge your "hello."

This ship gave a prolonged (four-second) signal (HERE I AM! HELLO!) upon approaching a sailboat race:

Is this sailboat giving the "raspberry"? (Also, his mainsail is trimmed too tight/close.)

Your guess is a good as mine. As it is highly unusual compared to the competitors' boats (photo taken during a sailboat race), I presume the boater was trying to make a statement.

Re mainsail trim, he`s running square, some long keel sailboats get the "death rolls" doing that, the fix is hardening the main. Or it could just be badly adjusted. But, I`ve never seen a kite designed like that.
