responsibility to do everything prudent and 
possible to avoid collisions. 

1. Directions of meeting vessels. 

For navigational rules, all vessels identify as

ii. From the point of the bow to the left 
112.5° (Port) Indicated as RED.

WHITE.

open water: 

i. Head on: When two powered vessels are 
approaching each other head on, both boat 
operators should signal with one short blast 
sound signal and alter their course 
starboard (right). 

ii. Overtaking: When one powered vessel 
approaches another powered vessel from 
behind, with the intent of overtaking it, the 
vessel in the lead must maintain course and 
speed with caution, while the passing vessel 
takes early and substantial action and care 
to pass the lead vessel on either side. 

iii. Approaches from the side: When two 
powered vessels approach each other from 
either the port (left) or starboard (right) side, 
the vessel being approached from its port 
side has the right-of-way and should 
maintain course and speed, while the other 
vessel gives way, taking early and 

substantial action in changing course to 
avoid the stand-on vessel. 

a. When a powered vessel meets a sailing 
vessel or a fishing vessel with nets or 
trawls, the powered vessel is the give-way

action in altering course and speed to keep 
well clear of the other vessel.
