Sailing

The overtaking craft should give way, as the overtaking craft should be the one with the most control, as it is initiating the move.

By definition the captain does.

Capsize

A sailboat under sail should never give way to a motor boat.

However, if it comes up against another sail boat:

1. Overtaking boats must give way

2. Those on Starboard tack have right of way

3. The boat that is closest to the wind (or on the windward side) should give way

By operating a boat in Georgia, you have consented to a sobriety test if directed.

Sails use the wind to move a ship or boat. This has been true in the ancient past to the current day.

All IALA buoys are warning or cautionary buoys.

the force is there and it is easier to row

When they started needing to steer it

A sailing boat can not sail directly upwind, sail at about 45 degrees to the wind and tack (turn the boat through the wind) to the other side of the wind and continue in this zig-zag manner up wind.

It was used for fishing and water transportation, it was made from wood and used cloth sails, and the square-shaped boat limited its usability.

South Korea and Japan

Different sails work differently.

Sailboats tend to catch wind and cause the boat to be pushed by this action. The more square footage of sail you have the more power you are sailing with.

Ice boats use the sail as a wind edge. They do better when going into a wind. The wind passes over the sail on both sides. One side has more pressure then the other side. As a result, the ice boat is capable of moving several times faster then the wind. Speeds of as much as 100 mph have been recorded.

No limitation on rope length.

Light, strong, not damaged by insects or fungus. The stretchiness comes in handy as well.

Boat fuel consumption is based more base upon gallons per hour. A 31' cabin cruiser with a moderate V8 gasoline engine may consume up to 3 gallons per hour at 3/4 throttle. Standard outboards are much thriftier.

Pirate ships could always overtake a loaded schooner...

I assume. If you started at New-Brunswick, PEI, or someother place on the east coast. My grandfater sailed from New-Brunswick to portugal. It took him 40 odd days and there were some islands you could stop at in the middle.

To survive while attracting attention.

To be rescued.

Swab means to clean. Poop Deck is the largest deck on large ships. So to swab the poop deck is to clean the large deck of the ship. This is often used as punishment.

Both vessels are Power Driven Vessels - Rule 15 applies. Whichever has the other on her starboard hand must give way.
