RULE 12
Sailing Vessels
(a) When two sailing vessels are approaching one another, so as to involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the other as follows:
(i) when each has the wind on a different side, the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other;
(ii) when both have the wind on the same side, the vessel which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the vessel which is to leeward; and
(iii) if a vessel with the wind on the port side sees a vessel to windward and cannot determine with certainty whether the other vessel has the wind on the port or on the starboard side, she shall keep out of the way of the other.
(b) For the purpose of this Rule the windward side shall be deemed to be the side opposite to that on which the mainsail is carried or, in the case of a square-rigged vessel, the side opposite to that on which the largest fore-and-aft sail is carried.
this one messes me up because I don't sail
Super clear. Pay zero attention to the haters
Thanks for the comment! Rock and Roll!!!
What about a case like iii), but when the lower vessel has wind from the starboard side? Unsure how the Rule 12 applies here.
@@m.l8698 If you were on starboard, then you would be starboard and leeward and you would be the stand on vessel. This is for old square rigged vessels back in the day.
@@uscaptainstraining Thanks for clearing my doubts :)
@@uscaptainstraining Sorry, after re-thinking and discussing it with my friend captain - it's not that super clear. Assuming the windward vessel is propelled by huge spinnaker, or it's square rigged - his ability to change the course is very limited, and also he might be cruising at much higher speed. If I remain stand-on - the risk of collision is high.
❤thank you .
I pray I don’t see a sailing question on my exam 😅
