Re: Boating 101+2 - ANSWER
ANSWER <br /><br />Of all the vessels on water, the seaplane has the lowest priority. It must keep well clear of all vessels and void impeding their navigation. Rule 18d. The only exception is during actual take-off or landing, in which case it has priority. <br /><br />In the example above the seaplane is positioning for take off and thus it is the give-away vessel. The cabin cruiser is the stand-on vessel and is required to maintain course and speed unless forced to maneuver. Rule 17.
