Under normal operation situations, stationary shing and sailing boats (stationary or moving) are
given the right of way.
Always learn about and pay attention to buoys and other markers. The Uniform State Waterway
Marker System has been devised for interior waterways in the United States*. Markings may vary by
geographic location. Always consult appropriate authorities before using the power board in unfa-
miliar waters.
MEETING
When two boats are approaching
each other on the water, one has
the righta-way and is designated the
“stand-on” vessel. The other boat
must yield or give way and is desig-
nated the “give-way” vessel.
In illustration A, you are the JetSurf™
in the center. You are required to
yield to any vessel shown in the
white area (you are the “give-way”
vessel). Any vessels shown in the
shaded area must yield to you(you
are the “stand-on” vessel). If both
of you are heading directly toward
one another, illustration B, you both
must give way. You should turn right
to keep the approaching vessel to
your left or port side. This rule does
not apply if both vessels will be clear
of each other if you continue on
your set course and speed.
