Default My seamanship question #1

little sailboat with no motor on the starboard tack. The one catching up is going
on a course of 180 degrees. The one getting caught is going 208 degrees.

Which one has to change course if it looks like they're going to hit each other?

Cheers,

Depends on the speed of each....
