When encountering a sailing vessel at night, you should...

Signal your intentions
Increase speed and pass quickly
Always give way
Attempt communication for navigation

The correct answer is: Always give way

When encountering a sailing vessel at night, you should always give way. This means you should slow down or steer away to allow the sailing vessel to continue on its intended course without interference. Option A is incorrect because while it is important to signal your intentions, it is not the most important action to take when encountering a sailing vessel at night. Option B is incorrect because increasing speed and passing quickly could be dangerous and potentially lead to a collision. Option D is incorrect because communication is not always necessary and giving way should be the priority when encountering a sailing vessel at night.
