Conversely, the following illustration depicts a situation in which
you are the boat in the center and you are the burdened vessel. You
must give right-of-way to all vessels coming towards you from the
directions shown in green.
Meeting Head-On
When meeting head-on, neither vessel has the right of way. Both
boats should decrease speed, turn towards their right (starboard
side) and pass on their left sides (port-to-port). However, if both
boats are clearly on each other’s right (starboard) side then, each
vessel should sound two short blasts and pass on their right sides
(starboard-to-starboard).
