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

of the way of the other. If the other  vessel is

or trawls  are considered to  be fishing ves-
selsunder the International  Rules. Vessels
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:

When  the  sailing  vessel is  overtaking
the power-driven vessel, the power-driv-
en vessel has the right-of-way.
Sailing vessels should keep clear of any
fishing vessel.
