      (e)   a vessel which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other vessel.

16. Vessels meeting end on

   (1) When two mechanically propelled vessels are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard, so that each may pass on the port side of the other.

   (2) The provisions of sub-regulation (1) shall only apply to cases where vessels are meeting end on or nearly end on in such a manner as to involve risk of collision and shall not apply to two vessels which must, if both keep on their respective courses, pass clear of each other.

17. Vessels crossing

   (1) When two mechanically propelled vessels are crossing, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way of the other.

   (2) When a mechanically propelled vessel and a sailing vessel are approaching one another so as to involve risk of collision, the mechanically propelled vessel shall keep out of the way of the sailing vessel.

18. Course and speed

Where one of two vessels is required by these Regulations to keep out of the way of another, the other shall keep her course and speed:

Provided that when a vessel which is required to keep her course and speed finds that a collision cannot be avoided by the action of the giving-way vessel alone, such vessel shall take such action as will best avert a collision.

19. Crossing ahead

A vessel which is required to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case permit, avoid crossing ahead of the other.

20. Mechanically propelled vessels to keep out of the way of other vessels

21. Overtaking vessels

   (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in these Regulations, every vessel overtaking another vessel shall keep out of the way of the overtaken vessel.

   (2) A vessel coming up with another vessel from any direction more than 2 points (22 1/2 degrees) abaft her beam, that is, in such a position, with reference to the vessel which she is overtaking, that at night she would be unable to see either of that vessel's sidelights, shall be deemed to be an overtaking vessel, and no subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Regulations, or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.

   (3) If the overtaking vessel cannot determine with certainty whether she is forward of, or abaft, the direction referred to in sub-regulation (2) from the other vessel, she shall assume that she is an overtaking vessel and keep out of the way.

22. Mechanically propelled vessels in narrow channels

In narrow channels a mechanically propelled vessel shall, when it is safe and practicable, keep on that side of the fairway, or mid-channel, which lies on the starboard side of such vessel.

23. Vessels to keep out of the way of fishing vessels

   (1) A vessel not engaged in fishing shall, when under way, keep out of the way of a vessel fishing with nets, lines or trawls.

   (2) Nothing in this regulation shall confer upon a vessel engaged in fishing the right to obstruct a navigable channel used by vessels other than fishing vessels.

24. Sound signals between vessels

   (1) When vessels are in sight of one another, a mechanically propelled vessel of 50 feet or more in length overall when under way, in taking any action authorised or required by these Regulations to be taken, shall indicate that action by the following signals on her whistle or klaxon:

      (a)   one short blast to mean "I am altering my course to starboard";

      (b)   two short blasts to mean "I am altering my course to port";

      (c)   three short blasts to mean "My engines are going astern".

   (2) When a mechanically propelled vessel of 1524 centimetres or more in length overall which is required to keep her course and speed is in sight of another vessel and is in doubt whether sufficient action is being taken by the other vessel to avert a collision, she may indicate such doubt by giving at least five short and rapid blasts on the whistle or klaxon. The giving of such a signal shall not relieve a vessel of her duty—

      (a)   to take any action required by these Regulations to be taken;

      (b)   to indicate that action by the signals referred to in sub-regulation (1).

25. Consideration for other vessels

26. Handling of vessels in a dangerous or reckless manner

   (1) A person in charge of a vessel shall not navigate such vessel in a manner or at a speed likely to—

      (a)   endanger the safety of any person in that or any other vessel;

28. Distress signals

      (1) Nothing in this regulation shall prevent the use by a vessel in distress of any means at its disposal to attract attention, make known its position and obtain help.
