Giving Way in Sailing

 
All types of vessels on the water are governed 
by the International Regulations for Preventing 
Collisions at Sea, frequently abbreviated as 
COLREGS. The entire set of rules is highly 
complicated, however, when you start sailing, it 
is sufficient to be familiar with the basic rules 
that are listed here.

T h e   r u l e s   f o r  
n a v i g a t i o n   i n                          
a channel (or canal)

 

All vessels must stay 
to the right side in 
channels or canals, 
so that they meet on 
their port side.
 

Overtaking rule

An overtaking vessel 
must keep out of the 
way of the vessel 
b e i n g   o v e r t a k e n ,  
even in the case of a 
s a i l i n g   v e s s e l

driven vessel.

A vessel that arrives 
from the right is given 
way in the same way 
as on the road.

When power-driven 
vessels meet head-
on, they turn their 
course to the right and 
meet on their port 
side.

The starboard side 
vessel alters her 
course in order to sail 
behind the stern of the 
port side vessel.

The windward vessel 
s h a l l   a v o i d   t h e  
leeward vessel and 
navigate in order to 
sail behind her.
 

The port rule   A vessel sailing 
port side (with the boom on the 
port side) has the pass over         
a vessel sailing starboard side. 
The vessel sailing starboard side 
must give way to a vessel sailing 
port side.
