Overtaking Situations

When one motor boat is overtaking another motor boat,

the boat that is being passed has the right of way. The

overtaking boat must make the adjustments necessary to

provide clearance for a safe passage of the other vessel.

The boats should sound the appropriate signals.

The General Prudential Rule

In obeying the Rules of the Road, due regard must be given

to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any

special circumstances, including the limitations of the

vessels, which may justify a departure from the rules that

is necessary to avoid immediate danger or a collision.

Navigation Aids

Aids to navigation are placed along coasts and navi-

gable waters as guides to mark safe water and to assist

mariners in determining their position in relation to

land and hidden dangers. Each aid to navigation is

used to provide specific information. You should be

familiar with these and any other markers used in your

boating area.

STORMS AND WAVE ACTION CAN CAUSE BUOYS TO MOVE. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY

ON BUOYS ALONE TO DETERMINE YOUR POSITION.

additional information on safety equipment.
