narrow channel This term comes up in Rule 9, but is not officially defined in the rules. It is always relative. It could be a physical channel or it could be a channel marked by buoys in open water. The main idea is a waterway where the navigation of some class of vessel is restricted to that channel. See related discussion under fairway here and extended disucssion in online discussion of Rule 9.
