I don't think there is such a thing as "right of way" in the Colregs.* There is "stand on" and "give way," but I don't recall every seeing any mention of "right of way."*Marin, I will give on the semantics of right of way and stand on.* The main reason for this is that a downstream boat with no headway on will still be traveling at the speed of the current with no control.Marin wrote:
