Other special situations
There are  three  other rules  you should  be
aware of when driving your boat around oth-
er vessels.
Narrow channels and bends
When  navigating  in  narrow channels,  you
should keep to  the right when it  is safe and
practical to do so. If the operator of a power-
driven  vessel is  preparing  to  go around  a
bend that may obstruct the view of other wa-
ter vessels, the operator should sound a pro-
longed blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds).
If another  vessel is  around the bend,  it too
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing
each others  path  close enough  to run  the
risk of collision, the vessel which has the oth-
should sound the whistle. Even if no reply is
er on the starboard (right) side must keep out
heard, however,  the vessel should  still pro-
of the way of the other. If the other  vessel is
ceed  around the  bend with  caution.  If you
on your right,  you must keep out of  its way;
navigate such waters with your boat, you will
you  are the  Give-Way  vessel.  If the  other
need to  carry a  portable air horn,  available
vessel is on  your port (left)  side, remember
that you  should maintain  course and direc-
tion, provided the other vessel gives you the
right-of-way as it should.

or trawls  are considered to  be fishing ves-

with trolling lines  are not considered  fishing
vessels.  Fishing vessels  have  the right-of-
way regardless  of position.  Fishing vessels
cannot,  however,  impede  the  passage  of
other vessels in narrow channels.
Sailing vessel right-of-way
Sailing vessels should normally be given the
right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:
