BASIC RULES OF THE ROAD
Boating Regulations
The USCG is the governing authority of the United States
waterways and serves to help the boating public. State boating
regulations are enforced by local authorities. Owners and users
outside of the United States must be cognizant of that country’s
laws and regulations. You are subject to marine traffic laws
and Rules of the Road for both federal and state waterways;
you must stop if signaled to do so by enforcement officers and
permit them to board if asked.
Review and understand all local, state, federal, and country
boating laws.
There are many USCG pamphlets available to you. These
pamphlets go beyond the contents of this manual and explain
Rules of the Road, signal lights, buoys, safety, international and
inland regulations. An example is the Ultimate Watersports
Handbook you should have received with your new boat, or
which can be ordered by contacting WSIA; go to: www.WSIA.net.
For more information, contact your local USCG unit or visit
http://www.uscgboating.org.
You should be aware of these rules and follow them whenever
you encounter another vessel on the water. The rules presented
in this manual outline only the most basic of the nautical Rules of
the Road and have been provided as a convenience only. Consult
your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA), Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV), or local maritime authority for a complete
set of rules governing the waters in which you will be using your
boat. If you plan to travel—even for a short trip—you would be
well-served to contact the regional USCGA or DMV in the area
where you will be boating.
The nautical Rules of the Road must be followed to prevent
collisions between vessels. Like traffic laws for automobiles, the
operator is legal required to follow the rules.
Encountering Another Vessel
Any time two vessels on the water meet one another, one
vessel has the right-of-way. It is called the “stand-on” or
“privileged vessel.” The vessel which
DOES NOT
have the
right-of-way is called the “give-way” or “burdened vessel.”
These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and
accordingly, what each vessel should do.
Privileged Vessel
The privileged vessel has the right-of-way and has the duty
to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate
collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other
vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.
Sailboats and boats paddled or rowed have the right-of-
way over motorboats. 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
NOTICE
In general, boats with less maneuverability have right of way over
more agile crafts. You must stay clear of the vessel with right of way
and pass to his stern.
