Basic boating rules (Rules of
the road)
Just as there are rules that apply when you
are driving on streets and highways, there
are waterway rules that apply when you are
driving your boat. These rules are used inter-
nationally. (For U.S.A.: and are also en-
forced by the United States Coast Guard and
local agencies.) You should be aware of
these rules, and follow them whenever you
encounter another vessel on the water.
EMU33702
Steering and sailing rules and sound
signals
Whenever two vessels on the water meet
one another, one vessel has the right-of-
way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The
vessel that 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 what each vessel should
do.
