HELPFUL INFORMATION
The spoken word “MAYDAY” is the international signal of
distress. MAYDAY should NEVER be used unless there is
grave or imminent danger, and you are in need of
immediate assistance.
RULES OF SEAMANSHIP
Right-of-Way
In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-of-
way over more agile craft. You must stay out of the way of
the following vessels:
o A vessel not under command or aground. Due to their
circumstances, these vessels have no maneuverability.
o A vessel restricted in its maneuverability. These
vessels are performing work which limits their
maneuverability such as: surveying, dredging, laying
pipe or cable or servicing navigational markers among
others.
o A vessel engaged in fishing. These include boats
fishing with lines, trawls or nets, but not trolling lines.
o Sailboats. Sailboats have the right-of-way over power
boats. However, if a sailboat is using a propeller to
move forward, it is considered a power boat even if its
sails are up.
