A power-driven vessel shall keep out of the way of a sailing vessel.

Question

Right or Wrong?
TRUE

FALSE

Answer 1

TRUE. In general maritime navigation rules, a power-driven vessel is required to give way to a sailing vessel. This is outlined in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). Specifically, Rule 10 applies to sailing vessels under sail without motoring, meaning that if a sailing vessel is under sail, a power-driven vessel must keep out of its way.
