Crossing situations

Meeting Head-On Or Nearly-So

Situations

When two motorboats are approaching each

other head-on or nearly head-on, neither

boat has the right of way. Both boats should

reduce their speed and turn to the right,

passing port side to port side and provide

enough clearance for safe passage. Both

boats should sound appropriate signals.

Overtaking Situations

When one motorboat is overtaking another

motorboat, the boat being passed has the

right of way. The overtaking boat must make

adjustments necessary to provide clearance

for a safe passage of the other vessel and

should sound appropriate signals.

The General Prudential Rule

In obeying the Rules of the Road, due

regard must be given to all dangers of navi-

gation and collision and to any special cir-

cumstances, including the limitations of the

vessels, which may justify a departure from

the rules that is necessary to avoid immedi-

ate danger or a collision.

Navigation Aids

Aids to navigation are placed along coasts

and navigable 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. Become famil-

iar with these and any other markers used in

your boating area.
