🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 16 – Action by give-way vessel in the Navigation Rules • Difference between required actions and recommended good seamanship (like avoiding crossing ahead) • Meaning of "positive early action" and what else the rule says must characterize that action

💭 Think About

• Look up what Rule 16 actually says after the phrase "shall take early and substantial action to keep well clear" or similar language—what key quality of the maneuver is required? • Ask yourself: does the rule require one very specific maneuver (like always turning one way or always passing in a certain position), or does it state a more general performance standard for how the maneuver must be carried out? • Which option sounds like an absolute legal requirement for every give-way situation, versus something that might be appropriate only in some situations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact wording of Rule 16 in the Navigation Rules (COLREGS and Inland). • Check whether the rule mentions sound signals at all in this context or if that appears instead in a different rule on maneuvering and warning signals. • Confirm whether the rule demands a particular direction of turn or track (ahead/astern, port/starboard), or if it focuses on the nature and effectiveness of the avoiding action.
