servicing navigational markers among

others.

• A vessel engaged in fishing. These include

boats fishing with lines, trawls or nets; but

not trolling lines.

• Sailboats. Sailboats have the right-of-way

over power boats; however, if a sailboat is

using a propeller to move forward, it is con-

sidered a power boat even if its sails are up.

MEETING A VESSEL HEAD-ON

In a head-on situation, neither boat has the right-

of way. Both boats should decrease speed and

pass port to port (Figure 2.11). However, if both

boats are on the left side of a channel, each ves-

sel should sound two short horn blasts and pass

starboard to starboard.

CROSSING SITUATIONS

In a crossing situation, the boat on the right

from the 12-4 o’clock position has the right-of-

way. It must hold course and speed. The boat

without right-of-way must keep clear and pass to

the stern as shown on Figure 2.12.
