Ohio Admin. Code 1501:47-2-13 - Overtaking
(A) Notwithstanding
anything contained in rules
1501:47-2-04
to
1501:47-2-18
of the Administrative Code, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of
the way of the vessel being overtaken.
(B) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking
when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than twenty-two and
one half degrees abaft its beam; that is, in such a position with reference to
the vessel it is overtaking, that at night it would be able to only see the
sternlight of that vessel but neither of its sidelights.
(C) When a vessel is in any doubt as to
whether it is overtaking another, it shall assume that this is the case and act
accordingly.
(D) Any subsequent
alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking
vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these rules or relieve it of the
duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until it is finally past and
clear.
No person shall operate or permit to be operated, any vessel on the waters in this state, in violation of this rule.
