Question

Two powerboats are about to cross paths. what should the boat on the starboard (right) do?

Answer 1

The boat on the starboard should MAINTAIN ITS COURSE AND SPEED BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT SHOULD BE ALERT. When two power driven vessels are approaching head on, both of the vessels are expected to alter their courses to starboard in order to pass port side to port side. One is expected to give way to the vessel on one's starboard.
