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.

What sounds vessel constrained by draught?
A vessel constrained by draft refers to a ship that is unable to navigate safely due to its draft, which is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel). This situation typically occurs in shallow waters where the vessel's draft exceeds the water depth, limiting its ability to maneuver or access certain areas. Such vessels may require assistance from tugs or may need to wait for favorable conditions, such as higher tides, to proceed safely.

When to vessels are operating near each other which must maintain its course and spped unless it cimes apparent that the other vessel is not taking appropiate action is it the smaller vessel the large?
When two motor vessels are on a collision course, the vessel that has the other on its starboard side must give way. Motor driven vessels must also give way to vessels under sail unless constrained by draft in a narrow channel.
Day shape of a vessel constrained by her draft?
Cylinder. Think of a can, like a beer can hoisted up the mast. Some people remember "Can of draft beer".
When 2 vessels are operating near each other which one must take early and substantial action to keep well away?
Both vessels are responsible for taking early and substantial action to avoid collisions. However, vessels not under command, restricted in their ability to maneuver, constrained by their draft, fishing, or towing have the right of way, and the other vessel should take action to avoid them.
Is a personal watercraft an always a give way boat?
A personal watercraft (PWC) is generally considered a give-way vessel in most boating situations, meaning it must yield to other vessels. However, specific rules can vary by jurisdiction and local regulations, so it's essential for PWC operators to be aware of the rules in their operating area. Additionally, PWCs must give way to larger vessels, sailboats under sail, and vessels constrained by their draft. Always prioritize safety and navigation rules when operating a personal watercraft.
What additional lights do a vessel constrained by its draft show at night?
In accordance with rule 28 of the 72 COLREGS a vessel 'constrained by her draft' shall display 3 red lights vertically in addition to other navigation lights. Please see the link provided below.
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.

What is a boat operating in a narrow channel required to do?
A boat operating in a narrow channel is generally required to keep to the starboard side, maintaining a course that allows safe passage for other vessels. It must also be vigilant for any vessels constrained by their draft, which have limited maneuverability, and give them the right of way. Additionally, operators should proceed at a safe speed to ensure they can navigate safely and avoid collisions.
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.
