🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 18 – Responsibilities Between Vessels (power-driven vs. sailing vessel) • Priority of vessel type vs. relative bearing (port/starboard) when determining stand-on/give-way • That the diagram shows open waters with no channel, no constraint, and no towing situation indicated for vessel "A"

💭 Think About

• First decide which Navigation Rule applies here: Are you comparing two power-driven vessels, or a power-driven vessel and a sailing vessel? • When a power-driven vessel and a sailing vessel are crossing, which one normally keeps course and speed, and which one is required to keep out of the way under Rule 18? • Do any special circumstances in the picture (like towing, restricted ability to maneuver, narrow channel, etc.) change the normal hierarchy between power and sail?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify under Rule 18 whether a power-driven vessel must keep out of the way of a sailing vessel, or vice versa, in open water • Check whether the fact that one vessel is to port or starboard changes the basic power-versus-sail responsibility in this situation • Confirm from the diagram whether vessel "A" is actually shown towing anything, or just proceeding as an ordinary power-driven vessel
