Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Sailing vessels are considered the stand-on vessel over power-driven vessels, except in which of the following situations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 12 – Sailing Vessels in the Navigation Rules • General rule that power gives way to sail and when that might NOT apply • Definition and responsibilities of the overtaking vessel

💭 Think About

• First, think: in which situation does a vessel’s duty as give-way or stand-on change because of a special rule (like overtaking)? • Ask yourself: Is there any case where it does NOT matter whether a vessel is power-driven or sailing, because one is required to keep clear for a different reason? • Consider whether U.S. Inland versus International changes the basic priority between sail and power in these standard meeting, crossing, or overtaking situations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which Rule covers sailing vessels vs. power-driven vessels and what the general priority is. • Check the Rule that defines overtaking and see what it says about who must keep clear, regardless of type of vessel. • Confirm whether Inland vs. International changes the basic stand-on/give-way relationship between sail and power, or if the rules are essentially the same here.
