Basic Rules of the Road
Meeting Head-On
Neither boat has the right-of-way in this situation. Both boats
should decrease speed, turn to the right, and pass port-to-port.
However, if both boats are on the left side of the channel, each
vessel should sound two short blasts and pass starboard-to-
starboard.
