BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In a crossing situation on open waters, which does a sailing vessel NOT have to "keep out of the way of"?

Correct Answer: Option A — engaged in towing

Rule 18(a) establishes the hierarchy of responsibility. A sailing vessel must keep out of the way of vessels not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, and engaged in fishing. However, a vessel engaged in towing is not included in this specific list of priority vessels for a sailing vessel.
