CORRECT CRAFT Boat - Meeting Head-On

2-7
Meeting Head-On
Neither boat has the right of way in this situation. Both boats should
decrease speed, turn to the right and pass port-to-port. However, if
both boats are on the left side of the channel, each vessel should
sound two short blasts and pass starboard-to-starboard.
