Meeting Head-On
When two boats meet head-on neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats should reduce speed and
pass port-to-port (
Figure 2-3
).
If it is not possible to pass port-to-port due to some obstruction or other boat traffic, you should sound
two short blasts to indicate that you are intending to pass starboard-to-starboard (
Figure 2-4
). Ensure the
other boat understands your intentions before proceeding.
Crossing
When engaged in a crossing situation, where two vessels are approaching at right angles (or close to)
and a risk of collision exists, the vessel on the right is the stand-on vessel and must hold course and
speed. The give-way vessel must maneuver in such a way as to keep clear of the stand-on vessel. The
give-way vessel must pass to the stern of the stand-on vessel. The give-way vessel shall slow, stop, or
reverse to allow the stand-on vessel to pass.
Overtaking
If one boat wishes to overtake (pass) another boat, the vessel astern must initiate the signal indicating his
desire to pass. The vessel being passed (overtaken) is the stand-on vessel. The boat doing the passing
(overtaking) is the give-way vessel (
Figure 2-5
).
