Rule 12 makes Rule 13 superfluous in any case where
there is enough water to make overtaking unnecessary
because there is plenty of space to avoid being close
enough to have to overtake and pass at close quarters.
This is extremely logical and evident. I fail to see why
people can't seem to get it.
You're saying that the boat that might be said to be overtaking should
avoid the close quarters situation by staying clear of the other boat?
Isn't this following Rule 13?
