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 brief-
ly  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.
“The general prudential rule”
This rule is called Rule 2 in the International
Rules and says,
Meeting
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 ves-
sel on your port  (left) side. This rule doesn’t
apply if both  of you will clear  one another if
you continue on your set course and speed.
“In obeying  and construing these  rules due
regard shall be had to all dangers of naviga-
tion and collision, and to any special circum-
stances, which may render a departure from
the above rules  necessary in order to avoid
immediate danger.”
In other words, follow the standard rules ex-
cept when a  collision will occur  unless both
vessels try to avoid each  other. If that is the
case, both vessels become “Give-Way” ves-
sels.

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: (you are approaching another ves-
sel head-on)
Crossing: (you are traveling across the oth-
er vessel’s path)
Overtaking:   (you  are   passing   or   being
passed by another vessel)
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 vessels  in the shad-
ed area must yield to you (they are the Give-
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing
each other’s  path  close enough  to run  the
risk of collision, the vessel which has the oth-
er 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
vessel is on  your port (left)  side, remember
that you  should maintain  course and direc-
