Rules of the Road .. Continued

To understand how the Collision Regulations work, think of the space around a vessel as being divided into three Sectors:

  • Port Sector.
  • Starboard Sector.
  • Stern Sector.

 

REMEMBER: A sailboat propelled by an engine is classified as a power driven vessel. A sailboat with a motor but navigating under sail is not classified as a power driven vessel.
