When in boating traffic, you can determine who has the right-of-way by figuring out each boat’s position relative to the other on the water using the ‘sectors’ of navigation. the sectors of navigation include: the port sector, the starboard sector and the stern sector.. Aircraft navigation lights are placed in a way similar to that of marine vessels, with a red navigation light located on the left wingtip leading edge and a green light on the right wingtip leading edge. a white navigation light is as far aft as possible on the tail or each wing tip.. Right of way boat navigation and right of way rather than in terms of any rights. a boat has right of way when another boat is required to keep clear of her. however, these lights help each crew determine the other craft's direction and who has right-of-way..
Navigation lights for boats over 12 meters / 39.4 ft. a power-driven vessel of over 12 meters, while underway must display a white masthead/steaming light as well as sidelights and a stern-light. if over 50 meters / 164 ft length, then a second masthead light aft and higher than the forward one must also be carried.. The irpcs rules on navigation lights state that under power, use another power boat's light sectors to decide when to give way or stand-on. in the white or red sectors, give way; in the green sector, stand-on.. In boat-speak, you and your vessel either stand-on course because you have the right-of-way, or you give way to a vessel and let it pass first. the action you take depends on what you and the other vessel are doing..
