A vessel is considered the give-way vessel when it is required to take action to avoid a collision with another vessel that has the right of way. This designation is based on established maritime rules, which prioritize safety and navigation efficiency, such as the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). The give-way vessel must alter its course or speed to allow the other vessel to pass safely, ensuring the safety of both vessels involved. Failure to do so can lead to accidents and is often subject to legal consequences.
Generally, vessels under sail power have the right of way.

There is a misconception that a motor driven vessel always gives way to sail. This is not so. There are many things which decide which vessel gives way, tides, wind, the channel and the conditions of the vessels themselves. The operations they are involved in also affect who gives way. It is a rule, however, that BOTH vessels are responsible for avoiding collisions.
As a Giveway vessel, you are required to stay clear of the stand-on vessel. These actions include, (1) Make an early and bold alteration of course (2) Slow the vessel down (3) Stop the vessel (4) Come astern (5) Make an early and bold alteration of course and slow the vessel down Best to 90 degree alteration away from the stand-on vessel and then take a slow turn, and once the stand-on vessel passes go around his stern and back onto your original course.
To take early and substantial action to keep well clear of the stand on vessel
is considered reckless operation of a vessel.
