BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In illustration D002RR below, vessel I is a power-driven vessel. Vessel II is a sailing vessel with the wind dead aft. Which statement about this situation is correct?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Vessel I should keep out of the way of Vessel II.
The reasoning is based on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), Rule 12, which states that when two sailing vessels are approaching one another, one vessel shall keep out of the way of the other. In this situation, Vessel II is a sailing vessel with the wind dead aft, while Vessel I is a power-driven vessel. Therefore, according to the COLREGS, Vessel I should keep out of the way of Vessel II.
The other options are incorrect because B) Vessel II would normally be the stand-on vessel, but should stay out of the way in this particular situation is not accurate, as Vessel II is the vessel that should be kept out of the way. Options C) and D) are also incorrect, as they do not align with the COLREGS requirements for this scenario.
