| Indeed VoldbergJ, but Rule 8 says that any alteration of course OR SPEED made to avoid collision should be large enough to be readily appearant to another vessel observing visually or by radar. If room does not exist, rapidly backing down (while sounding 3 short) might be only recourse. |

| If you are in Inland rules you MAYNOT have room to make a large course change. 2 cents |
