Have to say bud, being new to the actual command of a boat and not just a winch grinder, the COLREGS have been giving me sleepless nights. Your videos here offer by far the best and clearest overview and interpretation I have come across. The animations actually make sense. Nice one.
Officially any person is obliged to know all existing rules! Practically impossible, so choose wisely what you can ignore. If you aren't steering a sailing vessel, only have to remember sail goes for machine.. ⛵🚢
Thank you for these great explanatory videos. I have a question concerning the example given to explain paragraph a(ii): shouldn't rule 13 prevail in that case ? Rule 13 states in its first paragraph: "Notwithstanding anything contained in the Rules of Part B, Sections I and II, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken." So in the case of the given example I would assume that the red vessel, even if she is windward of the blue one, is still the stand-on vessel as she is being overtaken by the blue one (blue one is coming up to the red one from a direction more than 22.5° abaft her beam). Am I missing something here ? Thank you ! :)
I have a question. If (a-iii)states that keep out of the way of the other. Why would the the vessel which is in the leeward would cross in front of the windward vessel?
In the real world, for rule 2, it is often much easier for the leeward vessel to give way, turning slightly off wind or slowing down. If the windward vessel turn upwind, it may slow down, so still be on a collision course. If it turn off wind, speed up, and find it difficult to drop behind the leeward vessel.
…so in all these cases, best use common sense, use the one and only rule…smallest vessel gives way! Only, sort of, joking. But common sense and early action is normally best.
This is actually very good comment: How do we determine if it applies or not? We have the rule 25 (e) which states: A vessel proceeding under sail when also being propelled by machinery shall exhibit forward where it can best be seen a conical shape, apex downwards. Since the vessel is not exhibiting the downwards cone, we might conclude that it's a sailing vessel. On the other hand, the wake looks as if it's being propelled by machinery.
As an officer, I can tell this explanation is probably the best I have ever seen. Good job and thank you.
I am Deep Sea Captain. I am working on Merchant Fleet from 2004, and I first time in my life understood meaning of this rule. Thank you very much!!!

Thank you for these video's , you explain these rules in a simple clear way to understand .👍.
Great work Great refreshing my
Knowledge
Excellent tutorial mate. Cheers for the clarity beautifully delivered 👍👍🍺
Great videos mate, cheers 👍🏼
Really clear explanation, good stuff
Great, really helped me understand 12.b - great vid
At 10:09 I would say that the vessel sailing downwind has the wind on the Port side, not Starboard as the boom is out to Port.
does a watchkeeper on the oil tanker need to know all these rules designated for a sailing boat?

In that case you apply the 500 Tonne rule
Thanks. Great vids!

Plz explain two sailing vsls on headon situation wind from ahead or stern.. who will be stand on and give way...??
There is no headon situation rule for sailing vessels
In this case the wind will be from the side, so on opposite sides of each vessel, so wind to port gives way
very nice explanation
I have a question. If (a-iii)states that keep out of the way of the other. Why would the the vessel which is in the leeward would cross in front of the windward vessel?
To avoid collision.
12aiii, why is it not better to turn into the wind? Surely steering leeward increases the risk of collision with that multiple sail boat?
Steering to the wind, taking in to parallel courses increases the risk of collision. In sailing and motorboats.
How can i get the note you are using to explain

10.25 that decision to jump ahead then stop infront of the other vessel and go across its head 😂
1st image of "sailing vessel" (11:29) is wrong!! and DOES NOT apply. The yacht has a mainsail up but is being powered by her engine. Ooops!
