"It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it!"
(Gordon the Big Engine to Henry the Green Engine, on whistling, in the Revd W. Awdry's "Henry the Green Engine")
Unlike the Steam Boat Association, where we do it all the time.
But certainly I would never whistle while sailing. Even in a calm. Too much risk of calling tempests from the mighty deep. I'm surprised that John even considered it in WD Chapter XX.
