MEETING HEAD-ON
When two boats meet head-on, neither boat has
the right-of-way. Both boats should decrease
speed, turn to the right and pass port to port. If,
however, both boats are on the left side of a
channel, each vessel should sound two short
horn blasts and pass starboard to starboard.

CROSSING
In crossing situations, the boat to the right from
the 12 o’clock to the 4 o’clock position has the
right-of-way and must hold course and speed.
The boat without right-of-way must yield and pass
to the stern of the privileged boat. Boats going up
and down a river have the right-of-way over boats
crossing the river.
