5. When two boats cross, the boat to the right (starboard)
has the right of way.
6. When overtaking or passing, the boat being passed
has the right of way.
In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-
of-way over more agile craft . Th
e skipper must keep his
craft clear of the following vessels:
• A vessel not under command or aground; due to their
circumstances, these vessels have no maneuverability.
• A vessel restricted in its maneuverability; these
vessels usually are performing work which limits
their maneuverability. Examples are boats surveying,
dredging, laying pipe or cable, or servicing navigational
markers.
• A vessel engaged in fi shing; these include boats fi shing
with lines, trawls or nets, but not trolling lines.
• Sailboats; they have the right-of-way over powerboats.
However, if a sailboat is using a prop to move forward, it
is considered a powerboat even if the sails are up.
• Remember the unwritten “rule of tonnage”. Basically a
smaller tonnage vessel should take every eff ort to avoid
close quarters with a larger tonnage vessel. One way to
accomplish this is to have a designated human lookout to
“eyeball” the horizon for any developing collision course.
• Use defensive driving skills on the waterway just as you
do on the roadway. Th
e other vessel may not know the
“rules of the road”. Be alert and ready to take immediate
action.
• If a collision course is unavoidable neither boat has the
right of way. Both boats must react to avoid an accident
according to the rules of the road.
LOOKOUTS
International and Inland navigation rules spellout
the specifics of establishing a lookout. A lookout is
legally defi ned by the court system as a person who has
specifi cally charged duties on board such as observing
sounds, echoes, lights and any inhibitors to navigation
with complete throughness as permitted by the
circumstances.
Th
e term “specifi cally charged” means that the lookout
has no other duties at that time that could prevent him
from keeping a proper watch.
Of course the skipper must delagate the lookout duties
to a seasoned crew member who can react to events
quickly and communicate eff ectively with the captain
with little notice.
As captain of your yacht you are responsible for the vessel
and the crew. Choose an experiened individual as lookout
and review the navigation rules with this person so he
can make the right call quickly as situations develop.
