This section is only an introduction to the Navigation Rules. We strongly recommend additional training before getting
behind the “wheel”.
Night Running.
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by region), or in conditions of reduced visibility, must
use navigation lights. Night time operation, especially during bad weather and fog, can be dangerous. All Navigation
Rules apply at night, but it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats regardless of who has the right-of-way. To see
more easily at night, avoid bright lights when possible. Also, it is helpful to have a passenger (appoint as lookout) 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 running lights. A green light indicates starboard side, and a red light indicates 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.
TO AVOID INJURY AND DEATH! FOLLOW THE NAVIGATION RULES TO PREVENT COLLISIONS.
