Kan. Admin. Regs. § 115-30-7 - Boating; steering and sailing requirements
(a) Each
operator of a vessel shall keep the vessel to the right of the channel if it is
safe and practicable to do so.
(b)
When two vessels are approaching each other headon or nearly so, each operator
shall pass the other on that operator's own left side at a speed and distance
so that the wake of each vessel will not endanger the other vessel.
(c) When one vessel passes another traveling
in the same direction, the operator of the passing vessel shall pass when it is
safe to do so and at a speed and distance that do not endanger the overtaken
vessel. The operator of the overtaken vessel shall maintain its course and
speed until the passing vessel has safely passed.
(d) When two vessels are approaching each
other in a crossing situation that involves risk of collision, the operator of

right to cross the stern of the other vessel or shall stop and reverse if
necessary to avoid collision.
(e)
Each operator of a vessel propelled by machinery shall keep that vessel clear
of any vessel under sail or being propelled by oars or paddles and shall
maintain a speed and distance so that the wake will not endanger any vessel
under sail or being propelled by oars or paddles.
(f) Each operator of a vessel shall maintain
a proper look-out at all times by sight and sound as well as other available
means in order to make a full appraisal of the surroundings and avoid the risk
of collision.
(g) Each operator of
a vessel shall proceed at a speed that is safe and appropriate under the
conditions and with regard to the actual hazards then existing, in order to
avoid a collision and stop within any distance necessary to avoid a collision.

interfere with the placement or visibility of any navigational aid.
(i) No operator of a vessel shall moor the
vessel to any navigation buoy except a designated mooring buoy.
