rules of navigation

rules of navigation
The rules and regulations prescribing the manner in which vessels shall be controlled in operation generally or under particular circumstances and conditions. 48 Am J1st Ship §§ 244 et seq. Navigation rules for small watercraft. 12 Am J2d Boats § 14. The rules which govern the steering and sailing of vessels of the United States and which are designed to indicate exactly what two vessels approaching with risk of collision shall do to avoid each other. They are based largely upon two fundamental principles, viz.: (1) Vessels meeting should generally keep to the right, other things being equal; and (2) the vessel better able to control her movements should give way to the other. The latter rule is all the more clearly applicable where the other vessel is not under control at all, or is in a crippled condition. 48 Am J1st Ship § 250.
