Section 7

MEETING HEAD-ON
When two boats meet head-on, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats
should decrease speed, turn to the right and pass port to port. If, however, both
boats are on the left side of a channel, each vessel should sound two short horn
blasts and pass starboard to starboard.
