Chapter 3: Operating Your Boat—Safely
Navigation Rules—Traffic Laws of the Waterways

Encountering Other Vessels

Give-Way Vessel: Avoid crossing in front of other vessels.

Stand-On Vessel: If you must take action, do not turn toward the give-way vessel or cross in front of it.

How are the two vessels approaching one another?

Paths that cross: two vessels are on crossing paths so as to involve risk of collision.

Meeting Head-On:

Paths That Cross:

Hope this helps...
