BASIC BOATING RULES
(Rules of the road)
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 deter-
mine how best to avoid you.
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 direc-
tions briefly and  pass behind the other  ves-
sel. You should always  move in such  a way
that the operator of the other vessel can see
what you are doing.
rules,
and   follow    them   whenever    you
encounter another vessel on the water.
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.
The general prudential rule
Consult
your   local    U.S.   Coast    Guard
This rule is called Rule 2 in the International
Rules and says,
Auxiliary  or  Department  of Motor  Vehicles
for  a  complete  set of  rules  governing  the
waters in which you will be using your boat.
In obeying  and  construing these  rules
due regard  shall be  had to  all dangers
of navigation  and  collision, and  to any
special circumstances,  which may  ren-
der  a  departure  from the  above  rules
necessary  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-onvessel. 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.
