Rules of the Road
The " rules of the road " for Canada's waterways
help everyone avoid collisions on the water
by setting out what every boater should do to
avoid hitting or being hit by another vessel.
Keep Watch to Avoid Collisions
Some basic rules:
1. Power boats give way to sailboats and paddle craft
2. Sailboats give way to paddle craft
3. Sailboats under power are considered
power boats and give way accordingly.
Keeping constant watch for others on the water is
common sense and the law. If you are sharing the
water with large vessels, remember that it is harder
for them to see you or change their route to avoid
you. It also takes them longer to stop. These are all
good reasons to be ready to move out of their way.
The safest practice is to always be mindful
when operating in shipping lanes and
steer clear of tugs, vessels under tow,
actively fishing, adrift or at anchor.

1. Port
If a power-driven vessel
approaches within this
sector, maintain your course
and speed with caution.
2. Starboard
If a power-driven vessel
approaches within this
sector, take early and
substantial action to avoid a
collision by passing behind
the approaching boat.
3. Stern
If any vessel approaches this
sector, maintain your course
and speed with caution.
A blows one blast and alters course
to starboard. B blows one blast
and alters course to starboard.
2
A keeps clear of and must
avoid crossing ahead of B.
Any vessel overtaking
another must keep clear.
A power-driven vessel
keeps clear of B sailing vessel.
A keeps clear of B
B keeps clear of D
C keeps clear of A and B
D keeps clear of A and C
When Sail Meets Sail
Sailboats under power are considered power boats and give way accordingly.
When both sailing
vessels have the wind
on the same side.
B to windward* must keep
clear of A to leeward.
*The windward side is opposite
to the side that carries the
mainsail or, in the case of a
square-rigged vessel, the side
opposite to the side that carries
the largest fore and aft sail.
A has the wind on its port (left) side and must keep clear of B.
If a sailing vessel has the wind on its port side and the operator is
not sure if the other vessel has the wind on its port or starboard
(right) side, the first boat must keep out of the way of the other.
13
When each sailing vessel has the wind on a different side.
