• When navigating in narrow channels,
you should keep to the right when it is
safe and practical to do so.
• When preparing to go around a bend that
may obstruct your view of other water
vessels, you should sound a prolonged
blast on the horn or with a whistle for
four (4) to six (6) seconds. Even if no
reply is heard, you should still proceed
around the bend with caution.
Sailing Vessel Right-of-Way
Sailing vessels should normally be given
the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:
• When the sailing vessel is overtaking the
power-driven vessel, the power-driven
vessel has the right-of-way.
• Sailing vessels should keep clear of any
shing vessel.
• In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel
should not hamper the safe passage of
a power-driven vessel that can navigate
only in such a channel.
Fishing Vessel Right-of-Way
Under international rules, all vessels
that are shing with nets, lines or trawls are
considered to be shing vessels; however,
boats with trolling lines are not considered
shing vessels.
Fishing vessels have the right of way, re-
gardless of position, but these vessels can-
not impede the passage of other vessels in
narrow channels.
Reading Buoys and Other Markings
The waters of the United States are
marked for safe navigation by the lateral
system of buoyage. The markers and buoys
you encounter will have an arrangement of
shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show
which side of the buoy a boater should pass
when navigating in a particular direction.
The Uniform State Waterway Marker
System has been devised for these waters.
This system uses buoys and signs with dis-
tinctive shapes and colors to show regula-
tory or advisory information. The markings
on these buoys are oriented from the per-
spective of being entered from a seaward
direction while the boater is going toward
the port. Red buoys are passed on the star-
board (right) side when proceeding from
open water into port, and green buoys are
passed on the port (left) side. When navi-
gating out of port, your position to the
buoys should be reversed: red buoys to port
(left) and green buoys to starboard (right).
The following are the markings under the
Uniform State Waterway Marker System:
Green or Black Channel Marker
Buoy: Traveling upstream, you should pass
to the right of the buoy as it marks the left
side of the channel.
Red Channel Marker Buoy: Traveling
upstream, you should pass to the left of this
buoy as it marks the right side of the channel.
Junction Buoy (Green over red):
Means two channels are coming together
and you should pass to the right of the buoy
as you travel upstream.
Junction Buoy (Red over green):
Means two channels are coming together
