🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking: Which vessel is the overtaking vessel and which is the vessel being overtaken? • Obligations of the stand-on vessel versus the give-way vessel when vessels are in sight of one another. • How changes in course or speed by the vessel being overtaken might affect the safety of the overtaking maneuver.

💭 Think About

• Identify which vessel, A or B, is the one approaching from more than 22.5° abaft the beam of the other, based on the illustration. • Once you know who is overtaking, recall what that rule says the overtaking vessel must do and what the vessel being overtaken should avoid doing. • Think about which action by vessel B would make it easiest and safest for vessel A to keep clear during the entire maneuver.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which vessel is the give-way vessel and which is the stand-on vessel under Rule 13 – Overtaking. • Check whether the stand-on vessel is generally required to maintain course and speed under the steering and sailing rules. • Eliminate any option where vessel B makes a major change in course or speed that could create uncertainty for the overtaking vessel.
