SD, making large and obvious course changes to avoid R of R situations must make getting anywhere quite challenging. Probably half the time you could just stand on and the other vessel would alter.......in accordance with the rules.

The Stand-on Vessel as by law maintains course and speed. But she has to watch the Give-way Vessel to ensure that they will indeed give way. And if they don't then and only then will you have to maneuver to avoid or lessen the impact of a collision caused by the idiot on the Give-way Vessel. That is why I prefer to be the Give-way vessel. It allows me to maneuver as necessary and only depend on the Stand-on vessel to maintain course & Spd.
