Navigation
Rules of the Road
Navigating your yacht is much the same as
driving an automobile. Operating either one
responsibly means complying with a set of rules
intended to prevent accidents. Just as you as-
sume other automobile drivers know the rules of
the road and expect them to abide by them, other
boaters assume the same of you. As a responsible
yachtsman, you must comply with the
“Rules of
the Road” ; the marine traf

c laws enforced by
the United States Coast Guard. There are two (2)
sets of rules: The
United States Inland Naviga-
tional Rules and the International Rules . The
United States Inland Navigational rules apply to
all vessels operated within the demarcation lines
separating inland and international waters. The
United States Coast Guard publishes the
“Rules
of the Road” in its publication
“Navigational
Rules, International-Inland”
. You can obtain a
copy of this publication from your local United
States Coast Guard Unit or the United States
Coast Guard Headquarters, 1300 “E” Street NW,
Washington, D.C. 20226.
Other helpful publications available from the
United States Coast Guard include,
“Aids to
Navigation”
(Pamphlet #123), which explains
