Assuming both boats are under sail, and both boats have adequate visibility, the position of the wind will determine which is the stand-on vessel and which is the give-way vessel. If each vessel has the wind on a different side, the one with the wind on the port side keeps clear. if both have the wind on the same side, the vessel nearest to the direction of the wind keeps clear.
