1) When she is the overtaking vessel

2) When the other vessel is a Fishing Vessel or Restricted in her Ability to Manoeuvre (RAM) or Not Under Command (NUC).

3) A Sailing Vessel should not impede a Vessel Constrained by Draught (CBD).

A vessel under 20 meters may not impede any vessel which only navigate within a narrow channel or fairway.
