RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING
VESSELS
There are three main situations that
you may encounter with other vessels
which could lead to a collision unless
the Steering Rules are followed:
Meeting: you are approaching another
vessel head-on
Crossing: you are traveling across
another 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 the
white area (you are the give-way ves-
sel). Any vessels in the shaded area
must yield to you (they are the give-
way vessels). Both you and the meet-
ing vessel must alter course to avoid
each other.
