A sailboat under sail encounters a motorboat Both boats are underway When would the sailboat be the give-way vessel?
If the motorboat was hindered in its ability to maneuver, such as a tug pulling a boat or pushing a barge, or if the motorboat was adrift or signaling distress. Understanding the rules of underway and give-way are important parts of maritime safety.
You are operating a motorboat What if your motorboat is being overtaken by a sailboat What should you do?
If you are operating a motorboat and your motorboat is being overtaken by a sailboat, you should maintain present course and speed. The vessel that is overtaking another vessel is the give-way vessel, regardless of whether it is a sailing vessel or a power-driven vessel. The vessel being overtaken is always the stand-on vessel.
A sailboat under sail encounters a motorboat Both boats are underway When would the sailboat be?
In any encounter between two "vessels," there is a "give-way" vessel and a "stand-to" vessel. The "give-way" vessel is the one that lets the "stand-to" vessel. IOW the "stand-to" vessel has the right-of-way. This is the "pecking order" of vessels: Vessels not under command Vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver Vessels constrained by draft Fishing vessels engaged in fishing, with gear deployed Sailing vessels Power-driven vessels Notice something? As you go down the list, the vessels become more and more maneuverable. A vessel constrained by draft - a ship that has to run in a dredged channel so it won't bottom-out - is less maneuverable than a sailboat, and a sailboat is less maneuverable than a motorboat. So...ASSUMING the two vessels are going to cross paths in a way that could cause a collision, the sailboat would be the stand-to vessel and the motorboat the give-way vessel. If the sailboat's path doesn't cross the motorboat's path or the motorboat's going to cross 20 miles in front of the sailboat, you don't have to do anything.
What should the motorboat do if a motorboat is approaching a sailboat head on?
Rules of the RoadRule 9-Steering & Sailing RulesInternational/Inland(b) A vessel of less than 20 meters in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel that can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.***This applies to sailing vessels that are tacking in a channel or fairway.Rule 18Steering and Sailing Rules.Responsibilities Between Vessels.Except where Rules 9,10 and 13 otherwise require:(a) A power driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of:(iv) a sailing vessel.(b) A sailing vessel underway shall keep out of the way :(i) a vessel not under command(ii) a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver .

A sailboat is approaching a powerboat Both boats are underway Which boat is the give-way vessel?
power boat
When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat which vessel is the stand-on vessel?
When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the powerboat is the stand-on vessel. (Ref: SB-29)
