while both boats are at fault for not avoiding the collision, which Rule states that a sailing vessel on STBD tack needs to give way to a larger sailing vessel on PORT tack?
sure, the guy should have tacked away and not forced the issue but... and again, in a collision both sides are responsible to some degree, but in this case, being on port tack Maltese Falcon was the give way vessel, wasn't she?
unless the other vessel failed to maintain course and speed, obviously...
