BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which craft is a "power-driven vessel" under the Rules of the Road?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Definition of "power-driven vessel" in the Navigation Rules (look at Rule 3 – General Definitions) • Difference between means of propulsion (machinery vs. oars/sails) and the vessel’s type or purpose (canoe, trawler, sailing vessel) • What happens to a sailing vessel’s status when her engine is in use

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: Is this vessel being propelled by machinery at this moment, or by something else? • Does the shape or name of the vessel (canoe, trawler, sailboat) decide her status under the Rules, or is it the way she is being propelled? • When a sailboat turns its engine on, even if the sails are still set, how does Rule 3 classify that vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact wording of Rule 3(b) – power-driven vessel in the Navigation Rules • For each choice, decide yes/no: currently propelled by machinery • Be sure you are classifying by present propulsion, not by what the vessel is usually used for or called.
