When Overtaking Another Boat: The boat being overtaken is the privileged vessel.
Only after signaling and receiving an acknowledgment can the overtaking boat
Boating Navigation Rules
There are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels
which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are followed:
- Meeting : you are approaching another vessel head-on
- Crossing : you are travelling across the path of another vessel
- Overtaking : you are passing or being passed by another vessel
When Meeting Port-to-port: Continue on course. The same holds true for
meeting starboard-to-starboard.
When Meeting Head On: As in a car, both stay to your right and as far apart as
practical. Each boat should turn to starboard and pass port-to-port.
When Crossing: Every boat has a "Danger Zone" from straight in front (the
bow) to past the middle of its right side. Like when meeting another car at a
street intersection, the one on the right has the right of way. You must yield
to boats in your Danger Zone. If you are the skipper of the Vessel A in the
center of the diagram, you must keep out of the way of any boat that
approaches you from any direction within the indicated Danger Zone, as
you are the burdened craft. Likewise, boats approaching you from all other
directions, except the meeting vessel, must keep clear of you.
pass. (Use one blast to pass on the right, and two blasts to pass on the left.
When Being Overtaken: Be ready for trouble when a power boat passes you in a narrow waterway. As the
lead boat, which always has the right of way, stay on your side of the channel and maintain a steady speed
so that the overtaking vessel can pass you safely. Use your radio to discuss this with the passing boat.
