The stand-on vessel may or may not choose to maneuver after giving the five-blast signal.
Action by stand-on vessel
(a)
Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way the other shall keep her course and speed.
Stand-On Vessel - This vessel shall keep her course and speed while the other gives way. However, this does not mean this vessel should not take action to avoid a collision.
Starboard - The right side of the boat ...
PRIVELEGED VESSEL: A vessel which, according to the applicable Navigation Rule, has right-of-way (this term has been superseded by the term "stand-on vessel").
Give-Way Vessel - A term, from the Navigational Rules, used to describe the vessel which must yield to the "Stand-on Vessel" in meeting, crossing, or overtaking situations. also known as the Burdened Vessel ...
The boat with the right of way is called the stand-on vessel and the one that must yield or alter its course is the give-way vessel.
A stand-on vessel has the right of way while a give-way vessel must alter a course to avoid collision. A leeward boat is the stand-on vessel and has the right of way. The windward boat has to keep clear or give way.
The large vessel is restrained by draft and is the stand-on vessel if approached by the sailboats. There are three sailboats pictured, two on a starboard tack and one on a port tack. The port tack sailboat ( #2 ) is the give-way vessel.
Under the Navigation Rules (rules of the road), the stand-on vessel (also right-of-way vessel, formerly privileged vessel) is the one permitted to stay on her course in order to avoid a collision with another vessel. Compare with give way.
The boat which comes first has the right of way, and is the stand-on vessel. If you both fall in the same category, then either the category itself tells you what to do (e.g., sailboats beat powerboats), or you must continue down the list.
Give Way Vessel - Vessel that must change course or stop. Never cut across the bow of stand-on vessel ...
