How come? You got it wrong too when in your other post you talked about one
of the boats being overtaken.

I see you people need a hint: Subtract the angles. Does the result fit the
definition of overtake?

Cheers,

The vessel that is overtaking another vessel is the give-way vessel.

You said 180 was "overtaking" the 280 vessel.
End of story. Nothing else matters.

If the vessels have screwed the pooch to the point where they are truly about to
collide, it is the duty of both to do whatever is needed to avoid a collision.
