🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 12 – Sailing Vessels (who keeps out of the way when both are under sail) • How to determine which vessel is on port tack vs starboard tack from apparent wind direction • Difference between a normal meeting situation (Rule 14 – power-driven vessels) and two sailing vessels meeting (Rule 12)

💭 Think About

• From the given apparent wind direction on your vessel, decide whether you are on port tack or starboard tack. • If two sailing vessels are approaching head-on, which one is required to keep out of the way under Rule 12, and what does the other one do? • Consider whether the rule for both vessels altering course to starboard in a head‑on situation applies here, or if that rule is only for power‑driven vessels.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which Navigation Rule applies: is this treated as a head‑on situation between power‑driven vessels (Rule 14) or a situation between two sailing vessels (Rule 12)? • Determine with certainty from the given apparent wind (broad on the port beam) whether your sails would be carried on the port or starboard side (i.e., your tack). • Match your tack and the implied tack of the other vessel to the specific give‑way/stand‑on language in Rule 12 – Sailing Vessels.
