The rules in international waters are exactly the same with respect to
that situation. See rule 18(b) of the international COLREGS:

http://www.boatingsafety.com/colregs.htm



Tankers and large vessels are required by international law to avoid
collisions. They are not necessarily restricted in maneuverability,
since there are nothing preventing them from moving to one side or the
other. There is no such rule that says a tanker can run down a smaller
boat.

Nothing in 18b talks about this situation.

Take the limiting case of two tankers. The one overtaking is 700 ft
long. The one being overtaken is 300 ft long. Your claim that the
smaller one must get out of the way of the bigger one is nonsense.

In the case of a crossing situation, I've heard the term the boat on
the right is right... just like when two cars come to stop signs at
the same time.

Inland and in restricted situations, such as a channel, they are
restricted by draft, for example.

The bigger you are the more right of way you have. Doesn't matter
if you
are on the highway or on the water.

According to the regulation I've read, this is incorrect a lot of the
time.

Cite please.

God doesn't isn't going to accept your argument that you aren't
supposed
to be at the pearly gates because you had the right of way and you
should be sent back.

However, in international waters, that wouldn't be the case, so when
BAR claimed that the bigger you are means you have more rights, he's
wrong in several cases.

Like I said, best you are **** poor and can't afford a boat.

Always wrong deplume.

What ever happened to that dream boat you and several of your friends
were going to chip in on?

I was discussing this with a friend a few days ago. The plume started off with a tale about a sail
boat investment with some friends. Sounded great.

Then we all became moronic, assholish, racist homophobes.

So, I guess when you bought your boat (you have a big boat right?),
you just bought the first thing you saw, no questions asked. Since you
were born knowing how to sail (or run a 40 ft motor boat), you didn't
bother to take lessons or make any plans to figure out how to do that.
You didn't "become" a moronic, assholish, racist, homophobe. You were
one all along.

In this situation, it is perfectly clear that the sailor ****ed up. You

You missed my point completely. It doesn't matter if you have the right
of way if you die in the process of expecting the other boat, car or 18-
wheeler to yield to your right of way.

When there are ships or barges transiting the Potomac river everyone has
to get out of their way. Even in the Chesapeake Bay you need to get out
of the way of ships and barges when they are in the channel. due to the
fact that outside of the channel it can get extremely shallow quickly.

If you can defend your right of way from the grave good luck on coming
back and boating in this world again.
