Small problem... "Yes the smaller vessel is under sail, yes it is
starboard of the ship (and thus the "STAR" of the meeting, as some
learned it), and both those things might tend to give a small boat
skipper the sense that they have right of way... Then of course
there's common sense, which often gets left at the dock."

Of course, none of that matters, since the rules clearly state
restricted in ability to maneuver is the key item.


You finally got it. here is hope for you yet.
