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 agen-
cies. You should be aware of these rules,
and follow them whenever you encounter
another vessel on the water.

the above rules necessary in order to avoid
immediate danger.”

vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the

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:
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-way” or “burdened” vessel.
