Par règles de priorité, nous entendons les obligations de celui qui n’ a pas priorité et non les droits de celui qui a priorité. Le premier principe est qu'un voilier a priorité sur un navire à moteur. Si deux voiliers naviguent sous des amures différentes, celui qui navigue tribord amures est prioritaire(Le vent vient de droite). Si deux voiliers naviguent sous la même amure, c'est celui qui a la voile la plus bordée qui a la priorité, celui donc qui remonte le plus au vent. Il faut passer derrière un bateau prioritaire lors d’un croisement. 1, record 1, French, - bateau%20prioritaire
