Navigation Rules and Aids
CROSSING
In crossing situations, the boat to the right from the 12 o'clock to the 4 o'clock
position has the right-of-way and must hold course and speed. The boat without
right-of-way must yield and pass to the stern of the privileged boat. Boats going up
and down a river have the right-of-way over boats crossing the river.
