SAFETY INFORMATION 1

1-17

RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING

VESSELS

There are three main situations which

you may encounter with other vessels

which could lead to a collision unless

the Steering Rules are followed:

Meeting (you are approaching another

vessel head-on)

Crossing (you are travelling across the

other vessel's path)

Overtaking (you are passing or being

passed by another vessel)

In the following illustration, your Jet

Boat is in the center. You should give

the right-of-way to any vessels shown

in the white area (you are the Give-Way

vessel). Any vessels in the shaded

area must yield to you (they are the

Give-Way vessels). Both you and the

meeting vessel must alter course to

avoid each other.

Meeting

If you are meeting another power ves-

sel head on, and are close enough to

run the risk of collision, neither of you

has the right-of-way. Both of you should

alter course to avoid an accident. You

should keep the other vessel on your

port (left) side.This rule doesn't apply if

both of you will clear one another if you

continue on your set course and

speed.

Crossing

When two power driven vessels are

crossing each other's path close

enough to run the risk of collision, the

vessel which has the other on the star-

board (right) side must keep out of the

way of the other. If the other vessel is

on your right, you must keep out of its

way; you are the Give-Way vessel. If

the other vessel is on your port (left)

side, remember that you should main-

tain course and direction, provided the

other vessel gives you the right-of-way

as it should.
