2865 DENALI
Notice: Sailboats not under power, paddle boats and other vessels without power have
the right of way over motor powered boats. You must stay clear or pass to the
stern of these vessels. Sailboats under power are considered motor boats.
Crossing Situations
When two motor boats are crossing, the boat on the
right has the right of way, the boat with the right of
way should maintain its course and speed. The other
vessel should slow down and permit it to pass. The
boats should sound the appropriate signals.
Meeting Head-On or Nearly So Situations
When two motor boats are approaching each
other head on or nearly head on, neither boat
has the right of way. Both boats should reduce
their speed and turn to the right so as to pass
port side to port side, providing enough clear-
ance for safe passage. The boats should sound
the appropriate signals.
Overtaking Situations
When one motor boat is overtaking another
motor boat, the boat that is being passed has the
right of way. The overtaking boat must make
the adjustments necessary to provide clearance
for a safe passage of the other vessel. The boats
should sound the appropriate signals.
