Basic boating rules (Rules of the road)
Just as there are rules that apply when you are
driving on streets and highways, there are
waterway rules that apply when you are driving
your boat. These rules are used internationally.
(For U.S.A.: and are also enforced by the United
States Coast Guard and local agencies.) You
should be aware of these rules, and follow them
whenever you encounter another vessel on the
water.
Steering and sailing rules and sound signals
Whenever two vessels on the water meet one
another, one vessel has the right-of-way; it is
called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel that does
not have the right-of-way is called the “give-way”
or “burdened” vessel. These rules determine
which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each
vessel should do.
Stand-on vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to
continue its course and speed, except to avoid
an immediate collision. When you maintain your
direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to
determine how best to avoid you.
Give-way vessel
The vessel that does NOT have the right-of-way
has the duty to take positive and timely action to
stay out of the way of the Stand-On vessel.
Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel
with the right-of-way.
