I think that you are referring to Rule 28, and it doesn't say that you don't
have to give way to a constrained vessel unless the vessel is showing the
correct shapes and or lights.




If both boats are under power then Rule 14 (head-on) or 15 (crossing
apply)


How would you interpret these rules for two boats heading directly towards
each other in a channel that is not wide enough to allow passing in the
channel?
