Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are the "give-way" vessel. The other vessel
is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way until you
are past it. The same would be true if you were the "stand-on" vessel. Maintain
your course and speed until the other vessel has passed you.
Meeting
If you are meeting another power vessel head-on, and you are close enough to
possibly collide, neither vessel has the right-of-way. Both vessels must alter
course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel to your port (left)
side. This rule does not apply if you will be clear of the other vessel by maintaining
your course and speed.
