A boat which has the responsibility for taking whatever action is best to avoid a collision.

OBS

burdened: Required by the Rules of the Road to maneuver so as to be clear of another boat when meeting or overtaking the other boat. Powerboats are generally burdened when meeting a sailing boat; when 2 sailing boats meet the one that is to windward, that is overtaking, or (if both are running free), that is on the port tack is burdened.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Yachting et navigation de plaisance
DEF

Selon les règles de barre et de route, embarcation qui doit accorder priorité à l'autre lorsqu'il y a rencontre, croisement ou dépassement.

OBS

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.
