From the 72 COLREGS, Navigational Rules of the Road. International
General
Rule 3 (h)the term "vessel constrained by her draft" means a power driven vessel which, because of her draft in relation to the available depth and width of the navigable water is severelyrestricted in her ability to deviate from the course she is following.
This is an International Rule. It has NO bearing in the US Inland rules.
A vessel who cannot alter course due to the draft (the distance from the waterline to the keel) of her hull. For example if the draft is 10ft and on her current course the water depth is 11 ft but to the port and starboard of her the water depth is 5 ft. she is thus constrained to that course (she cannot deviate from it) because of her draft. She will display a day shape in the form of a can or cylinder, it can resemble a can of beer, remember a "draft of beer" and 3 red all round lights at night.

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.

When does a sailboat have right?
When two sailboats meet, the one on starboard tack (wind coming across starboard or right side) has the right of way. If both boats are on the same tack, the boat that is downwind, or to "leeward" has the right of way. Sailboats have right of way over all power boats, except vessels constrained by their draft, vessels with limited maneuverability, vessels towing and subs. When a sailboat meets a jet ski they should sail right through it and leave owners for dead.
