Meeting Head-On Or Nearly-So
Situations
When two motorboats 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,
passing port side to port side and provide
enough clearance for safe passage. Both
boats should sound appropriate signals.
Overtaking Situations
When one motorboat is overtaking another
motorboat, the boat being passed has the
right of way. The overtaking boat must make
adjustments necessary to provide clearance
for a safe passage of the other vessel and
should sound appropriate signals.
The General Prudential Rule
In obeying the Rules of the Road, due
regard must be given to all dangers of navi-
gation and collision and to any special cir-
cumstances, including the limitations of the
vessels, which may justify a departure from
the rules that is necessary to avoid immedi-
ate danger or a collision.
Navigation Aids
Aids to navigation are placed along coasts
and navigable waters as guides to mark safe
water and to assist mariners in determining
their position in relation to land and hidden
dangers. Each aid to navigation is used to
provide specific information. Become famil-
iar with these and any other markers used in
your boating area.
