various whistle signals.

THE GENERAL PRUDENTIAL RULE

The general prudential rule regarding right-of-

way is that if a collision appears unavoidable,

neither boat has right-of-way. As prescribed in

the Rules of the Road, both boats must act to

avoid collision.

NIGHT RUNNING

Boats operating between sunset and sunrise

(hours vary by state), or in conditions of

reduced visibility, must use navigational lights.

Nighttime operation, especially during bad

weather or fog, can be dangerous. All Rules of

Road apply at night, but it is best to slow down

and stay clear of all boats regardless of who

has right-of-way.

To see more easily at night, avoid bright lights

when possible. Also, it is helpful to have a pas-

senger keep watch for other boats, water

hazards and navigational aids.

To determine the size, speed and direction of

other vessels at night, you should use the run-

ning lights. A green light indicates the starboard

side, and a red light indicates the port side.

Generally, if you see a green light, you have the

right-of-way; if you see a red light, give way to

the other vessel. See Figure 2.14.
