It's not quite so funny as you think. There have been attempts to get Colregs changed along those lines. So far they've been fought off, partly at least by bodies such as RYA and CA making their case to our IMO representatives.

Suggest you run out and get one - may be a less painful ending!! There is an African Gray called Barney in a hotel near Gatwick which has run of the bar. Swears beautifully and has an impressive vocabulary - sort of Jimi and Matt combined
When is she back - do you want to come and try my new headsail on Sunday?
cheers

How will this effect the use of motor-sailing cones?
Will sail now give way to power or will it depend on who is to starboard?
By the way how do you define impede? I just finished my YM theory and the instructor was firmly of the opinion that causing a ship to change course a few degrees in a 5 mile wide TSS lane (if there are no other vessels around) does not impede his progress. I don't think I would like to try that one in practice.

Colregs gives a formal definition of "not to impede" which means only that you must make sure that the other vessel has room to manoeuvre safely. It is not the same as being give way vessel.
Many people get that wrong!
As such in fact the "not to impede" does not add much to Colregs since all ships have a general duty to consider the restrictions on other vessels.
