2 Per Inland Rules: Boats 12 m or greater must carry a copy of these rules Seminar Reference
3 Why Rules? Communicate actions Set level of expectation Provide guidance in various situations Identify other boats AVOID COLLISIONS
4 Framework Parallel sets of rules Minor differences COLREGS International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea INLAND Bays, inland waters (U.S.) Same language Adds a few words Can communicate via radio as well as sound signals
5 Line of Demarcation U.S. Inland Rules Demarcation Line COLREGS
6 Structure of Rules Define actions of 2 vessels 38 Rules Categories of Rules: General Steering & Sailing Rules Those that apply to all Vessels, Vessels in Sight of Each other, Vessels in limited visibility Lights & Shapes Sound and Light Signals Annexes
7 Some key thoughts Practical Rather than absolute right of way stand-on and give-way except downbound on certain rivers Based on maneuverability Focus collision avoidance
8 International and Inland - General General: Rule 1 Rule 2 Rule 3 Application Responsibility General Definitions
9 Rule 1: Application The rules apply to ALL VESSELS on the high seas and navigable waters. wgh wgh
10 Rule 2: Responsibility No matter what happens, the person in charge of the vessel must do everything possible to avoid collision. Under certain circumstances you are allowed/expected to break rules to avoid collision. Rules do not protect a participant in a collision from fault. Quackenbush
11 Rule 3: General Definitions Underway: not anchored, grounded, or attached to shore. Includes vessels dead in water. In sight: seen with the eyes. Restricted Visibility: any atmospheric condition reducing visibility. Stand-on vessel: vessel obligated to maintain course & speed. Give-way vessel: vessel obligated to keep out of way of other.
12 Rule 3: General Definitions 2 Vessel: any watercraft. Power-driven Vessel: propelled by machinery. Sailing Vessel: propelled by sail alone. Seaplane: aircraft which can maneuver on water. Vessel not under command (NUC): Vessel unable to maneuver due to exceptional circumstances.
13 Rule 3: General Definitions 3 Vessel Engaged in Fishing: vessel fishing with equipment that restricts maneuverability (nets, trawls, etc.) Vessel Constrained by Draft: a power driven vessel which, because of draft, is severely restricted in ability to deviate from her course (COLREGS only). Vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver: vessel which, due to her nature of her work, cannot maneuver.
14 Steering and Sailing Rules Conduct of Vessels in Any Condition of Visibility: Rule 4 Rule 5 Rule 6 Rule 7 Rule 8 Rule 9 Application Lookout Safe Speed Risk of Collision Action to Avoid Collision Narrow Channels Rule 10 Traffic Separation Schemes
15 Rule 4: Application Rules in this section apply in any condition of visibility wgh wgh
16 Rule 5: Lookout Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight, hearing and installed electronic equipment. Skipper appoints a separate (designated) look-out if there is more than one person aboard. Stroub e
17 Rule 6: Safe Speed Requires every vessel proceed at a safe speed to avoid collisions under existing conditions and circumstances wgh wgh
18 Rule 7: Risk of Collision Use all available means to determine if collision with another boat is possible. converging on a constant relative bearing results in a collision remember skippers must avoid collision
19 Rule 8: Avoiding Collision Give-way vessel must take significant and obvious action in ample time. Must be obvious to Stand-on vessel. Course change may be more apparent Unless Stand-on is abeam, then speed change may be better
20 Rule 9: Narrow Channels No specific definition Based on relation between size of boats and channel Stay near outer limit to starboard As far as safe and practical Other boats Stay clear of vessels constrained by draft Cross channel at right angles INLAND Downbound vessel has right-of-way wgh wgh
21 Rule 10: Traffic Separation Inbound and outbound traffic lanes Divided by separation lines or zones One-way lanes for large ships wgh Vessels under 20 m or fishing shall not impede vessels following lanes Cross lanes at right angles
22 Traffic Separation Schemes Navigation Aid Inshore traffic zone Southern Approach inbound separator outbound Inshore traffic zone Eastern Approach inbound separator outbound Southeastern Approach Cross traffic zones at Right angles
23 Steering and Sailing Rules Conduct of Vessels in Sight of One Another : Rule 11 - Application Rule 12 - Sailing Vessels Rule 13 - Overtaking Rule 14 - Head-on Rule 15 - Crossing Situations Rule 16 - Action by the Give-way Vessel Rule 17 - Action by the Stand-on Vessel Rule 18 - Responsibilities Between Vessels Rule 19 - Restricted Visibility
24 Rule 11: Application Rules in this section apply to vessels in sight of one another. wgh
25 Rule 12: Sailing Vessels Sailing vessels Under sail alone No engine Sailing vessels approaching each other one shall keep out of the way of the other: Wind different sides Wind same side Can t tell Give way Stand-on wgh

27 Rule 13: Overtaking Overtaking vessel keeps out of the way All vessels Stand-on Vessel Vessel being overtaken maintains course and speed Overtaking vessel is give-way until past and clear Give-way Vessel (overtaking)
28 Rule 14: Meeting - Head-on Situation Power-driven vessels meeting head-on Both are Give-Way vessels Both should alter course to starboard and pass port-toport Sound or VHF to signal agreement on which side Exception: Great Lakes and Western Rivers Downbound have right-of-way over upbound boats
29 Rule 15: Crossing Situation Two power vessels cross, the one to the port side of the other is the GIVE-WAY vessel. Power vessel GIVES- WAY to sailing vessel
30 Rule 16: Action by Give-Way Vessel Stand-On vessel Give-Way Vessel Turn to starboard
