USCG Exam Practice · Rule 12 — Sailing Vessels

Under the Inland Rules, a sailing vessel underway is required to keep out of the way of which of the following vessel types?

  1. AA power-driven vessel and a vessel engaged in fishing
  2. BA vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, and a vessel engaged in fishing✓ correct
  3. CA vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver only
  4. DAll other vessels, regardless of type

Why B is correct

33 CFR §83.18(b) states that a sailing vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, and a vessel engaged in fishing. A sailing vessel does not give way to power-driven vessels under Rule 18; rather, power-driven vessels give way to sailing vessels per §83.18(a)(iv).
