1. For the purposes of this chapter, the term “small craft” means small craft navigating alone or convoys consisting only of small craft.
2. Where the provisions of this chapter provide that a particular rule of the road shall not apply to small craft in relation to other vessels, it shall be incumbent on small craft to leave all other vessels, including high-speed vessels, enough room to hold their course and to manoeuvre; they may not require such vessels to give way to them.
