If sail boats A and B are approaching each other with the wind on different sides why is vessel A considered the give-way vessel (vessel that must take early and substantial action to avoid a collisi?

In the scenario where sailboats A and B are approaching each other with the wind on different sides, vessel A is considered the give-way vessel because it is likely to be on a collision course with vessel B. According to navigational rules, when two sailing vessels are approaching one another, the one that has the wind on the port side (left side) is the stand-on vessel, while the one with the wind on the starboard side (right side) must give way. This rule helps prevent confusion and ensures safe navigation by establishing clear responsibilities when vessels are on converging paths.
