CHAPTER 2

2-2

NAVIGATION RULES

Right Of Way

1. Cross waves at right angles.

2. When caught in heavy water or squalls, head either directly into the

waves or at a slight angle. Reduce speed, but maintain enough power

to maneuver your boat safely.

3. Keep your speed under control. Respect the rights of other boaters

engaged in all water sports. Give them a “wide berth”.

4. Whenever meeting a boat head on, keep to the right where

possible.

5. When two boats cross, the boat to the right (starboard) has the right

of way.

6. When overtaking or passing, the boat being passed has the right of

way.

In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-of-way over

more agile craft. The skipper must keep his craft clear of the following

vessels:

• A vessel not under command or aground; due to their circumstances,

these vessels have no maneuverability.

• A vessel restricted in its maneuverability; these vessels usually are

performing work which limits their maneuverability such as surveying,

dredging, laying pipe or cable, or servicing navigational markers among

others.

• A vessel engaged in ﬁ shing; these include boats ﬁ shing with lines,

trawls or nets, but not trolling lines.
