The information contained on the Navigation Rules Card is that which is considered critical to safe passage for all vessels. There are 72 rules in all that were developed by the Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), which was later renamed to the International Maritime Organization (IMO).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules of navigation are similar to the rules of the road when driving a car. They are meant to provide consistency so everyone can work to help avoid a collision. There are many nuances to the rules that must be understood before operating a craft. The most important rule is known as “Rule 7,” which addresses what to do when the risk of collision is present. Determining whether a risk of collision exists is key: the prevailing weather and circumstances can be used to determine if a risk is present. If in doubt, it is always suggested that you act as if the risk is present. Knowing these rules is the first step to the safe operation of your vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Most Important Navigation Rule?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree rules are considered the most important to help prevent collisions. The first is that at a bare minimum, you should have a proper lookout. The second is that you should always operate your vessel at a safe speed. The third is that you should always give right-of-way when in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is always suggested that you follow these rules, but if a collision is imminent, it is acceptable to break them if it means avoiding an accident. Safety and protecting human lives should always come first. You should also use a compass to check the bearing of any neighboring vessel. This means checking them frequently because they can change bearings, and you must be continually vigilant. You should also be able to recognize when you are the stand-on or give-way vessel. It is always the duty of the give-way vessel to avoid a collision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Davis Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39617675788449,"sku":"125","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5992\/3873\/products\/00125_03.jpg?v=1618465407"},{"product_id":"coastwise-piloting","title":"Coastwise Piloting - SKU 126","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the piloting information you need at your fingertips: dead reckoning basics, true and magnetic compass relationships, position finding, estimating distance off, current and leeway corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;\" face=\"Open Sans,sans-serif\" color=\"#111111\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e½ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e×\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 11 inches (22 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e×\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 28 cm).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e \u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e \u003cspan class=\"headline\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"sub-headline\"\u003e Click here to learn more about the product. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"indent-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the piloting information you need at your fingertips: dead reckoning basics, true and magnetic compass relationships, position finding, estimating distance off, current and leeway corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #111111; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;\" face=\"Open Sans,sans-serif\" color=\"#111111\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e½ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e×\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 11 inches (22 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e×\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 28 cm).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Davis Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39617675853985,"sku":"126","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5992\/3873\/products\/00126_02_d4f94bdc-d012-48c1-94b1-b2cf437f62a1.jpg?v=1618468942"},{"product_id":"international-nav-rules","title":"International Navigation Rules - SKU 127","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive guide incorporating the International Maritime Buoyage System and COLREGS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarifies differences between Cardinal and Lateral buoyage systems and buoyage regions, key to reducing confusion and danger when entering unfamiliar waters or busy harbors.
