Meeting Head-On
Neither boat has the right-of-way in this situation.
Both boats should decrease speed, should turn to
the right, and pass port-to-port. However, if both
boats are on the left side of the channel, each
vessel should sound two short blasts and pass
starboard-to-starboard.
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.

Special Situations
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 the Road”
apply at night; 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 passenger, if possible, help keep
watch for other boats, water hazards, and aids to
navigation.
The size, speed, and direction of the 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 that
vessel.
Navigational Aids
Learn to recognize the different buoys and day
markers; they are the signposts of the waterways.
There are two primary marking systems in use in
the U.S.; the Uniform State Waterway Marking
System (USWMS) used on inland waters and
maintained by each state, and the Federal
Waterway Marking System (FWMS) used on
coastal waters and rivers and maintained by the
USCG. In addition, the FWMS has two modified
systems; the Western River Buoyage, and the
Intercoastal Waterway Buoyage. Be sure to check
with local authorities on the buoyage system in
use.
The only buoys you are permitted to moor to are
mooring buoys. Mooring to a navigation buoy or
other navigational aid or regulatory marker is
illegal.
