| Rule 15(a) The vessel which hs the other on her starboard side shall keep out of the way, ... avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel. |

| "The vessel on the right has the right." |

| Because, according to the Rules, vessel B is to starboard of vessel A and therefore has the right of way. Since B has the right of way, A must --according to the Rules-- keep clear of her. |
