🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking of the Navigation Rules • The definition of a sailing vessel versus a power‑driven vessel • The general rule about which vessel keeps out of the way in an overtaking situation, regardless of type

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In the Navigation Rules, when one vessel is overtaking another, which vessel is normally required to keep out of the way? Does this change because one of them is a sailing vessel? • Consider whether this is just a normal overtaking situation, or if anything about it makes it a "special circumstance" under the Rules. • Think about whether the usual power‑driven vs. sailing priority applies when the power‑driven vessel is the one being overtaken.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 13 (Overtaking) who has the obligation to keep out of the way in all overtaking situations. • Confirm whether Rule 13 makes any exceptions based on whether a vessel is power‑driven or sailing. • Check that a "special circumstance" under Rule 2 involves situations not specifically covered elsewhere, and decide if simple overtaking is already fully covered by the Rules.
