• Steering and sailing in all levels of visibility, including how to avoid collisions
• Conduct when another boat is in sight, including navigating in head-on and crossing situations
• Requirements for flags, shapes, and lights, and how to identify other vessels
• Sending and receiving sound and light signals from other ships, such as distress signals
The Inland General Rules included in this handbook require that "the operator of each self-propelled vessel 12 meters or more in length shall carry, on board and maintain for ready reference, a copy of these Rules." Operate your vessel safely and legally with the latest Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook.
