Sailing options v wind expand, with different sizes of sail; redundancy of systems is acquired, in the event one sail rigging or sail goes down. Maintenance and tending decrease as sails are adjusted for optimum sailing and tending requirements.

What should the power boat do when crossing a sail boat?
Generally speaking : give way, unless it is a 'commercial' powered boat. The reason: a relatively small boat with an engine can maneuver, accelerate and slow down much more easily than a sail boat. But commercial ships practically always have right of way over everyone else: because of their size and weight slowing down and maneuvering is much more difficult than for a sail boat and large ships having to swerve to avoid sail boats would create a hazard for all other ships.
