with a boat, again its not a car, the rudder does nothing unless there is thrust, so to turn hard the engines must be up.

its hard to make out from the whalling ship POV but it looks asif the gil is infact attempting to turn, (thrust spray apears to be towards the right - which would turn the gil so it was alongside the whaller)

the crew were blinded with the water cannon until it was too late, at which point the skipper of the gill attempted to take evasive action,

again, you cannot turn without engines on,
and the harder the engines are pushing, the more you turn
