Shouldn't "meeting" vessels try to pass port to port?

Have I misunderstood something?


Yup. If you're all ready passing clear why bother to make all sorts of
course changes to pass "Port to Port"?


OK. That makes sense.

What the hell did Bart mean by "meeting" in the original question?

Is there a definition of "meeting" in the ColRegs that I am unaware of?

Without looking it up, I'd say "no".
However, if you are looking ahead and you see a vessel on the opposite
course that is going to pass clear (port or stbd) it would still be
considered a "meeting" situation for Rules test, just not one you would
be required to act on, other than maintaining course.
