The angles have nothing to do with it if it's an overtaking situation. Are
you going to be out there with a protractor measuring? If the first boat is
ahead of the other boat (doesn't have to be directly inline), that boat has
stand-on status as far as I'm concerned. The other boat is burdoned and must
not cause a collision. The boat being overtaken must hold course. The other
boat must give-way.

Joe is right. But it's too easy for a point. :-)

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?
