What should you do when and your vessel is being overtaken by a sailing vessel?
This is a case where the sailing vessel does not have the right of way. The overtaking vessel must stay clear of the vessel being overtaken. The best thing you could do would me to keep a steady course, or make any changes obvious so the overtaking sailboat knows what you are doing.
What should you do if you are being overtaken by an emergency vehicle?
Grant the emergency vehicle the right of way.
Under what circumstances are overtaking and passing to the right not permitted?
Under all circumstances. You always pass on the left side of the road.
What should you do when operating a power-driven vessel and your vessel is being overtaken by a sailing vessel?
You always must give the right of way to the sailboat unless it's using the engine then you abide by the rule of yielding to the boat on the right.Remember the golden rule, Avoid collisions at all costs.In the IRPCS or "The rules of road" there are many other rules relevant to this situation, all of which are Subordinate to the golden rule.A power vessel make keep clear and remember how maneuverable they are. Whereas, a sailboat has limited maneuverability due to their inability of sailing into the wind.An overtaking vessel must keep clear. The vessel being overtaken is the stand-on vessel and must maintain its speed and course.So in this situation the power vessel should maintain it's course and speed. Whereas the sailing vessel must keep clear while overtaking but the power vessel must make sure it is not preventing the sailboat overtaking it because power gives way to sail.Ultimately, make your intentions clear, remember to use your common sense, remember the points mentioned above and AVOID COLLISIONS AT ALL COSTS.Happy Sailing.
