The learning objectives of this lesson are:

• The “rule of the road” when two vessels are passing each other.

• The responsibility between these vessels.

• The conduct of vessels in restricted visibility (Note that night is not considered bad or restricted visibility for the Colregs).

Overtaking

If a vessel is approaching another vessel from behind, within the theoretical sector of the forward vessel’s stern light, it is considered as an overtaking vessel, and it must give way in all circumstances until the other vessel is finally passed and clear. It can overtake on either side.

The overtaking zone:

Leave to port:

Leave to starboard:

Sound and light signals are prudent to indicate to the vessel which side the intention is to overtake on. The vessel being overtaken will signal agreement with specified sound/ light signals, foghorn and/ or light.
