Davis Quick Reference Navigation Rules Card

The Davis Quick Reference Navigation Rules Card is a compact, laminated reference tool trusted by the US Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, and US Power Squadron for over two decades. Built for boaters and mariners who need instant access to critical navigation rules without leaving the helm, this card consolidates the essential regulations every vessel operator should know. Whether you're navigating inland waterways or coastal waters, this reference eliminates the need to carry bulky regulation manuals and ensures you have the correct rule at your fingertips when split-second decisions matter.

Measuring 9 by 11 inches when fully opened, the Davis Quick Reference Navigation Rules Card covers the US Buoyage System, inland navigation rules, international rules, right-of-way protocols, lighting requirements, sound signal specifications, and bridge signal procedures all on a single, durable laminated surface. The card's high-visibility layout and waterproof lamination withstand salt spray, splashing, and the rigors of the marine environment. Experienced mariners appreciate the standardized formatting and Coast Guard–aligned information, which eliminates confusion and potential liability when multiple operators are aboard or when conditions demand fast, confident decision-making.

This card is essential for anyone operating a power vessel, sailboat, or auxiliary craft in US waters—from weekend recreational boaters to commercial operators and maritime instructors. Mount it in a waterproof chart case, laminate sleeve, or cabin bulletin board, or keep it tucked into your chart bag for classroom or onboard safety training. The compact, foldable design fits easily in navigation kits and emergency go-bags. Compliance with navigation rules is non-negotiable; the Davis Quick Reference Navigation Rules Card ensures your crew has zero excuse for uncertainty when lives and property depend on correct seamanship.
