I believe fishing in narrow channel has to keep out of the way of everyone at all times, regardless if they can only navigate in a narrow channel or not. I always pick fishing vessel must avoid in these questions and it's usually right.

I could be wrong but because the question says the sailing vessel can ONLY safely navigate inside the channel it becomes a vessel constrained by her draft and bumps her up a rung on the onrcfspso acronym.
