In meeting, the boat which comes with the tide must get out of the way.
In this case, both boats, if close, lay the blades of their sculls
flat on the water, lift them out of the rullocks, and let them drift
alongside. Each replaces them when the other has passed. In passing a
boat, the rower who passes must take the outside, unless there is ample
room within, and must also keep clear of the other’s sculls or oars.
If one boat is crossing the water, and another coming with the tide,
the one coming with tide must keep astern of the other, and have a good
look-out ahead.
