| Rule 9.C - Narrow Channels: "A vessel engaged in fishing shall not impede the passage of another vessel navigating within a narrow channel or fairway." |

| The answer is correct, because the sailing vessel can only navigate within the confined constraints of the channel, the fishing vessel must give way |

| answer D: how is the fishing vessel "directed" not to impede the passage of the sailing vessel? The question is using "directed" quite liberally. Would like to understand why I am reading into this question. Answer A: A fishing vessel? I am wondering if this fishing vessel has lines that would cause a captain to stay away from this vessel. This question is too vague. This question needs to be rewritten as to avoid confusion. |

| how is the fishing vessel supposed to know the sailing vessel's draft? does it assume most sails have a deep draught? |
