The more maneuverable vessel is the give-way vessel. This normally means the smallest one. But all captains are responsible for avoiding collisions on the water.

When does a sailboat have the right away over a recreation vesel?
== There are too many variables to give a short answer, but generally speaking... a sailboat has the right of way over a powered recreational vessel when the sailboat is operating under the sail's power only. In other words, even if the sail is up, if the sailboat's engine is running and the propeller is engaged, it is considered a powered vessel.
