RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING
VESSELS
There are three main situations which you
may encounter  with other  vessels which
could   lead   to  a  collision    unless   the
Steering Rules are followed:
Meeting
side. This rule doesnt apply if both of you
will clear  one another if  you continue  on
your set course and speed.
(you are  approaching another  vessel
head-on)
Crossing
(you  are traveling   across  the  other
vessels path)
102044
Overtaking
(you are  passing or  being passed by
another vessel)
Crossing
When  two   power  driven    vessels   are
crossing each  others path  close enough
to  run  the risk   of collision,   the  vessel
which  has  the  other  on  the  starboard
(right) side  must keep  out of  the way  of
the other.  If  the other  vessel is  on your
right, you  must keep  out of  its way; you
are the Give-Way  vessel. If the other  ves-
sel is  on your  port (left)  side, remember
that  you  should   maintain   course  and
direction, provided the  other vessel gives
you the right-of-way as it should.
In the  following illustration,  your boat  is
in the center. You should give the right-of-
way to  any vessels  shown in  white area
(you are  the Give-Way  vessel). Any  ves-
sels in the  shaded area must yield to  you
(they are the Give-Way vessels). Both you
and the meeting  vessel must alter course
to avoid each other.

Meeting
102046
If you  are meeting  another power vessel
head on, and are  close enough to run the
risk  of collision,  neither  of  you  has the
right-of-way!   Both  of  you should   alter
course to  avoid an  accident. You  should
keep the  other vessel  on your  port (left)
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are
the Give-Way”  vessel. This  means that
the other  vessel is  expected to  maintain
its course  and speed.  You must stay  out
