Safety information
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are the “Give-
Way” vessel. This means that the other vessel is
expected to maintain its course and speed. You
must stay out of its way until you are clear of it.
Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you
should maintain your speed and direction so that
the other vessel can steer itself around you.
Narrow channels and bends
When navigating in narrow channels, you should
keep to the right when it is safe and practical to
do so. If the operator of a power- driven vessel is
preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct
the view of other water vessels, the operator
should sound a pro- longed blast on the whistle
(4 - 6 seconds). If another vessel is around the
bend, it too should sound the whistle. Even if no
reply is heard, however, the vessel should still
proceed around the bend with caution. If you navigate
such waters with your boat, you will need to
carry a portable air horn.
Fishing vessel right-of-way
All vessels that are fishing with nets, lines or
trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels”
under the International Rules. Vessels with
trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels.
Fishing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of
position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede
the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.
Sailing vessel right-of-way
Sailing vessels should normally be given the right-
of-way. The exceptions to this are:
1.
When the sailing vessel is overtaking the
power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has
the right-of-way.
2.
Sailing vessels should keep clear of any
fishing vessel.
3.
In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should
not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven
vessel that can navigate only in such a channel.
Reading buoys and other markers
The waters of the United States are marked for
safe navigation by the lateral system of
buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an
arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights
to show which side of the buoy a boater should
pass on when navigating in a particular direction.
The markings on these buoys are oriented from
the perspective of being entered from seaward (the
boater is going towards the port). This means that
red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side
when proceeding from open water into port,
and black buoys are to port (left) side. When
navigating out of port, your position with respect to
the buoys should be reversed; red buoys should
be to port and black buoys to starboard.
