Although I'm not qualified to speak for 'the authorities'
I'd say they want to prevent the situation of sailing
vessels tacking in narrow dredged channels where commercial
vessels are 'constrained by their draft ... etc", Colregs
Rule 3(h)
Several times I've been in the English Channel faced with
crossing a lane with wall-to-wall 'heavies' with minimum
spacing between 'em. What you gonna do? Stay there all
day, or pick your gap and go ... ?
Not a safe place ? Sure. But's that the reality of waters
which have busy commercial shipping routes passing through
them.
