The operator of a stand-on vessel should maintain course and speed, allowing the give-way vessel to take necessary action to avoid a collision. They should be prepared to alter course if the give-way vessel does not take action or if a collision becomes imminent. It is important for the stand-on vessel to stay vigilant and be ready to communicate with the give-way vessel if necessary.
The vessel being "overtaken" is the stand-on vessel. The vessel "overtaking" is the give-way vessel.
A PWC is a Power Driven Vessel so she must give way.
