BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Except where specifically required by the rules, a sailing vessel is NOT required to keep out of the way of which vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) power-driven pilot vessel on station.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a sailing vessel is not required to keep out of the way of a power-driven pilot vessel on station, except where specifically required by the rules. This is because a pilot vessel on station is considered a "special circumstance" and has the right-of-way over a sailing vessel, as it is engaged in the critical task of piloting other vessels.
The other options are incorrect because a sailing vessel is generally required to keep out of the way of vessels that are anchored, setting channel buoys, or engaged in fishing, unless there are specific circumstances that alter the right-of-way.
