Overtaking
The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the burdened boat
and must make any adjustments 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.
The General Prudential Rule
The General Prudential Rule regarding right of way, is that if a
collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has right of way. As
prescribed in the “Rules of the Road”, both boats must act to avoid
collision.
Rule 2 in the International Rules says, “In construing and
complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to all dangers
of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances,
including the limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a
departure from these Rules necessary to avoid immediate danger.”
Other Rules of the Road
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
prolonged blast on the whistle or horn—four to six seconds.
If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the whistle
or horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still
proceed around the bend with caution.
