They are each responsible, though NOT equally. If I am anchored properly & you collide with me, it's YOUR fault. If I am anchored properly & you lose power and are drifting into me, I am responsible to get out of your way or at least try to fend off safely. Your questyone does not indicate the specific condition of "Operating in the same general area".

Both! While one might have the right of passage, avoiding a collision is ALWAYS EVERYBODYS responsibility. No Skipper is ever allowed to ram another boat If he can avoid it.
The boater on the right is responsible for keeping watch to avoid a collision between two boats.
