Starboard (RHS)
They pass Port To Port side
It depends on local conditions.
When passing a boat, you should generally pass on the starboard side (the right side when facing the front of the boat), as this is the convention in many maritime rules. However, if the other vessel is constrained by draft or unable to maneuver, you may need to pass on the port side (the left side). Always communicate your intentions clearly and be aware of the specific rules and regulations in the waters you are navigating. It's essential to maintain a safe distance and watch for any signals from the other vessel.
To signal another boat that you wish to pass on their port (left) side, you should sound one short blast on your horn. This indicates your intention to pass on the other vessel's left side. It's important to ensure that the other boat acknowledges your signal before proceeding. Always maintain a safe distance and be vigilant for any changes in their course.
"Red to the Right, Returning". When returning to port from the sea, keep the red buoy on the right side of your vessel.
To pass a boat on the port side, a vessel should sound one short blast of its horn. This signal indicates the intention to pass to the left of the other vessel. It is important for communication and safety on the water, helping to prevent collisions. Always be sure to follow local navigation rules and regulations when signaling.
The windward side of the boat is the side of the boat that the wind is hitting. the other side of the boat that is sheltered from the wind is the Leeward side. In other words ... the windward side of the boat is the side that is closest to the source of the wind.
Under the Inland Rules, a boat should pass red buoys on its port side (left side when facing forward). This is part of the “I’ll leave the red to port” guideline, which helps ensure safe navigation and prevents collisions. Red buoys indicate the right side of a channel when entering from open water.
Almost all bodies of water allow people to pass through from one side to the other. You can cross a river, sea, or canal via boat.
You should pass a fishing boat with minimum wake and away from fishing lines.
