E Rules when encountering vessels There are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to collision unless the Steering Rules are followed: Meeting: you are approaching another vessel head-on Crossing: you are traveling across another vessel's path Overtaking: you are passing or being passed by another vessel In the following illustration, your watercraft is in the centerYou should give the right-ofway 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 vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-ofway! Both of you should alter course to avoid an accidentYou should keep the other vessel on your port (left) sideThis rule does not apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed
