🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking of the Navigation Rules (COLREGS/Inland) • The definition of an overtaking vessel versus a vessel being overtaken • Whether the fact that you are under sail changes overtaking responsibilities

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In any overtaking situation, which vessel is normally required to keep out of the way, regardless of the type of vessel being overtaken? • Consider: Does the relative position to the wind (windward/leeward) change the basic overtaking rule, or does it only matter for certain sail‑on‑sail situations? • Think about whether the tug and tow’s status as power‑driven changes who is stand‑on and who is give‑way when one vessel is clearly overtaking the other.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 13 – Overtaking says about the duties of the overtaking vessel. • Check whether Rule 13 makes any exceptions for sailing vessels when they are the overtaking vessel. • Confirm whether the vessel being overtaken is required to maneuver, or whether it should normally maintain course and speed.
