It is customary for the privileged boat to signal
first, and the give-way boat to return the same
signal to acknowledge she understands and will
comply. Use the danger signal (five or more short
and rapid blasts) if intent is not clear.
Use the following signal blast early enough to be
noticed and understood by other boaters:
l
One long blast: Warning signal (coming out
of slip or passing astern)
l
One short blast: Pass on my port side
l
Two short blasts: Pass on my starboard side
l
Three short blasts: Engines in reverse
l
Five or more short and rapid blasts: Danger
signal!
Privileged Boats
Privileged boats have right-of-way and can hold
course and speed. Sailboats and boats paddled
or rowed have the right-of-way over motor boats.
Sailboats under power are considered
motorboats. Small pleasure crafts must yield to
large commercial boats in narrow channels.
Burdened Boats
The burdened boat is the boat that must make
whatever adjustment to course and speed
necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged
boat.
Crossing Situation
In crossing situations, the boat to the right from
the 12 o’clock to the 4 o’clock position has the
right-of-way. It must hold course and speed. The
burdened boat keeps clear and passes behind the
privileged boat. Boats going up and down a river
have the privilege over boats crossing the river.
