A sailboat under sail encounters a motorboat Both boats are underway When would the sailboat be the give-way vessel?
If the motorboat was hindered in its ability to maneuver, such as a tug pulling a boat or pushing a barge, or if the motorboat was adrift or signaling distress. Understanding the rules of underway and give-way are important parts of maritime safety.
A sailboat under sail encounters a motorboat Both boats are underway When would the sailboat be?
In any encounter between two "vessels," there is a "give-way" vessel and a "stand-to" vessel. The "give-way" vessel is the one that lets the "stand-to" vessel. IOW the "stand-to" vessel has the right-of-way. This is the "pecking order" of vessels: Vessels not under command Vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver Vessels constrained by draft Fishing vessels engaged in fishing, with gear deployed Sailing vessels Power-driven vessels Notice something? As you go down the list, the vessels become more and more maneuverable. A vessel constrained by draft - a ship that has to run in a dredged channel so it won't bottom-out - is less maneuverable than a sailboat, and a sailboat is less maneuverable than a motorboat. So...ASSUMING the two vessels are going to cross paths in a way that could cause a collision, the sailboat would be the stand-to vessel and the motorboat the give-way vessel. If the sailboat's path doesn't cross the motorboat's path or the motorboat's going to cross 20 miles in front of the sailboat, you don't have to do anything.
A sailboat is approaching a powerboat Both boats are underway Which boat is the give-way vessel?
power boat
Who invented the sailboat?
The first civilization that invented the sailboat was the Sumerians.
A motorboat and a PWC are meeting head-on Which action should be taken?
Both pilots should be aware of an impending collision and must take take immediate action. First things is to slow down and go towards the port (left) and see if the other craft does likewise. If they don't then you need to go towards starboard (right). Every boat pilot needs to keep their head on a swivel at all times ... they must always be aware of their surroundings at all times. That is an essential part of piloting a boat of any size. Even the huge freighters and tankers have several people on the bridge looking out for other boat traffic.
When does a sailboat have the right of way over a recreational power boat?
A sailboat has the right of way over a recreational power boat only when under sail alone and is crossing the path of the powerboat. I would expect a sailboat would always have right of way. How fast can a sailboat change direction compared to a speed boat? Speed boat drivers should be watching for sail boats or stationary boats at all times. Actually, on our lake, it seems as though the sail boats are stationary....hmmmm A sail boat only has the right away when it is in full sail. If the sail's are down and it is using its motor to power it, it is then considered a motor boat. The above answer is correct, with a little clarification. A sailboat would have the right of way over a power boat when it is under sail "only." In other words, if the sails are up but the motor is also operating, it would be considered a power boat and the normal rules of the road would apply equally to both. Also, there are certain categories of power driven vessels engaged in specific types of operations (like surveying, dredging, etc.) that have the right of way over all other vessels, including sailboats under sail only.Further discussion:Actually, there isn't a "right of way" under the Colregs. There are "stand on vessels" and "burdened vessels".A powered vessel constrained by draft in a seaway, for example, will be considered the stand on vessel (privileged vessel) and must maintain its course and speed when an unconstrained sailing vessel approaches. The sailing vessel, in this case, would be the burdened vessel and must give way.
