Sailboats and boats paddled or rowed have the right of way over motor boats. Sailboats
under power are considered motorboats. Small pleasure craft must yield to large commercial
boats in narrow channels.
Burdened Vessel
The burdened vessel does not have the right-of-way and has the duty to take positive and
timely action to stay out of the way of the privileged vessel. Normally, the burdened vessel
should not cross in front of the privileged vessel. The burdened vessel should slow down or
change directions and pass behind the other vessel. The burdened vessel operator should always
move in such a way that the privileged vessel operator can see what you are doing in ample time
to avoid a collision.
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 it must hold course and speed. The burdened
boat passes behind the privileged boat. Boats going up
and down a river have the privilege over boats crossing
the river. The illustration right depicts a situation in
which you are the boat in the center and you are the
privileged vessel. You must hold course and speed. All
vessels approaching your vessel from the directions
depicted by the red vessels must yield to your boat.
Conversely, the following illustration depicts a situation in which you are the boat in the center
and you are the burdened vessel. You must give right-of-way to all vessels coming towards you
from the directions shown in green.
Meeting Head-On
When meeting head-on, neither vessel has the right of way. Both boats should decrease
speed, turn towards their right (starboard side) and pass on their left sides (port-to-port).
However, if both boats are clearly on each other’s right (starboard) side then, each vessel should
sound two short blasts and pass on their right sides (starboard-to-starboard).

Overtaking
The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the burdened boat and must make any adjust-
ments necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged boat, until the burdened boat is well
ahead and clear of the vessel being overtaken.
