Collision Avoidance

This Flash movie shows some of the situations encountered in the Collision Regulations where one vessel has to stand to while the other gives way. It will teach you what to do in different situations. Click the buttons at the bottom to set your tack, and the different boats to see what would happen in that situation.

Some notes about the movie.

• the situations do not take into account precedence, such as power vessels give way to sail, sailing vessels give way to fishing vessels, etc. They only show situations between vessels of the same class: ie. sailing vessels with sailing vessels and power vessels with power vessels.

• the sail positions shown are a guide to which tack the vessel is on and do not illustrate any point of sailing

• in reality, vessels would not pass as closely as shown – animations are representative only
