BASIC BOATING RULES
Stand-on vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty
to continue  its course and speed,  except to
avoid  an   immediate  collision.   When  you
maintain your direction and speed, the other
vessel will be able to  determine how best to
avoid you.
(Rules of the road)
Just  as there  are  rules  which  apply when
you  are driving  on  streets  and high  ways,
there are waterway  rules which apply  when
you are  driving  your boat.  These rules  are
used internationally,  and  are also  enforced
by the United States  Coast Guard and local
agencies.  You  should  be   aware  of  these
Give-way vessel
The vessel which does not have the right-of-
way has the duty  to take positive and timely
action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On
vessel.  Normally,  you  should  not  cross  in
front of the  vessel with the right-of-way. You
should   slow  down   or   change   directions
briefly  and  pass  behind  the  other  vessel.
You should always  move in such a  way that
the  operator  of  the  other  vessel  can  see
what you are doing.
rules,
encounter another vessel on the water.
and   follow    them   whenever    you
Several  sets  of  rules  prevail  according  to
geographic location, but are all basically  the
same   as  the   International  Rules   of   the
Road.  The  rules   presented  here  in   your
Owners  Manual are  condensed, and  have
been  provided  for  your  convenience  only.
Consult your  local U.S.  Coast Guard  Auxil-
iary  or Department  of Motor  Vehicles for  a
complete set  of rules  governing the  waters
in which you will be using your boat.
The general prudential rule
This rule is called Rule 2 in the International
Rules and says,
In  obeying and  construing  these rules
due regard shall be had to all dangers of
navigation and collision, and to any spe-
cial circumstances, which  may render a
departure  from the  above rules  neces-
sary in order to avoid immediate danger.
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 which does not  have the right-of-way
is called  the  give-wayor  burdened”  ves-
sel. These rules determine which vessel has
the   right-of-way,   and   what   each  vessel
should do.
In  other  words,  follow  the   standard  rules
except  when  a  collision  will  occur  unless
both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is
the case,  both vessels  become Give-Way
vessels.
