BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When must a sailing vessel keep her course and speed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 12 – Sailing Vessels in the Navigation Rules • The definitions of stand-on vessel and give-way vessel • How overtaking situations work for all vessel types, including sailing vessels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which situation is a sailing vessel clearly the stand-on vessel by rule, required to maintain course and speed? • Consider which answers describe a relative position to the wind versus a type of encounter (like overtaking or crossing). Which of those actually carries a stand-on requirement? • Think about whether a vessel that is being overtaken should normally maintain course and speed, or whether the rule focuses on the behavior of the overtaking vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in Rule 12 which sailing vessel (to windward or to leeward) is required to keep out of the way of the other. • Verify if Rule 13 (Overtaking) puts the obligation primarily on the overtaking vessel or on the vessel being overtaken. • Confirm whether there is any special stand-on requirement when crossing a vessel engaged in fishing, or whether the general hierarchy of vessels (not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, constrained by draft, fishing, sailing, power-driven) applies instead.
