Overtaking
The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the give-way boat and
must make any adjustments necessary to keep out of the way of the
stand-on boat. The stand-on boat should hold its course and speed.
The General Prudential Rule
The general prudential rule regarding right-of-way is that if a collision
appears unavoidable, neither boat has right-of-way. As prescribed in
the Rules of the Road, both boats must act to avoid collision.
Night Running
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state)
must use navigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially during bad
weather or fog can be dangerous. All Rules of Road apply at night, but
it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats, regardless of who
has right-of-way.
Protect your night vision by avoiding bright lights and have a passen-
ger, if possible, help keep watch for other boats, water hazards, and
aids to navigation.
The size, speed, and direction of other vessels are determined at night
from the running lights. A green light indicates the starboard side of the
boat, and a red light indicates the port side. Generally, if you see a
green light, you have the right-of-way; if you see a red light, give-way to
vessel.
