GEKKO GTO 22, Owner'S Manual

Page: 17 / 148

When two power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the
risk of collision, the vessel that views the crossing vessel to the starboard (right) side
must give-way.
If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, maintain your course and direction,
provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way as it should.
If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the
other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way
as you clear it, altering course and speed as necessary.
Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you should maintain your speed
and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.
