When is a sailboat the stand on vessel in relations to a recreational power boats?

When is a sailboat the stand-on vessel in relations to recreational power boats?

only when under sail alone and is crossing path of powerboat

What is a sailboat the stand on vessel in relations to a recreational power boat?

The question should be "When is the sailboat the stand-on vessel...? The answer is if the sailboat has an engine and if it is in operation, the sailboat is treated as a power boat in determining stand-on status. The right-of-way would then follow the rules for power boats.

A sailboat is approaching a powerboat Both boats are underway Which boat is the give-way vessel?

power boat

If a sailboat and a motor boat are both underway when is the sailboat the give way vessel?

The sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by the motorboat, which is generally considered the stand-on vessel. Additionally, when both vessels are on a collision course and the motorboat is to the right (starboard) of the sailboat, the sailboat must give way. In situations where both boats are under sail, the sailboat must also give way to a motorboat if the motorboat is not under command.

Does a recreational fishing vessel have the same right of way as a commercial fishing vessel?

The commercial vessel has right of way if conducting fishing or trawling operations. When not fishing or trawling, right of way is awarded as with two power boats.

When does a sailboat have the right of way over a recreational power boat?

A sailboat has the right of way over a recreational power boat only when under sail alone and is crossing the path of the powerboat. I would expect a sailboat would always have right of way. How fast can a sailboat change direction compared to a speed boat? Speed boat drivers should be watching for sail boats or stationary boats at all times. Actually, on our lake, it seems as though the sail boats are stationary....hmmmm A sail boat only has the right away when it is in full sail. If the sail's are down and it is using its motor to power it, it is then considered a motor boat. The above answer is correct, with a little clarification. A sailboat would have the right of way over a power boat when it is under sail "only." In other words, if the sails are up but the motor is also operating, it would be considered a power boat and the normal rules of the road would apply equally to both. Also, there are certain categories of power driven vessels engaged in specific types of operations (like surveying, dredging, etc.) that have the right of way over all other vessels, including sailboats under sail only.Further discussion:Actually, there isn't a "right of way" under the Colregs. There are "stand on vessels" and "burdened vessels".A powered vessel constrained by draft in a seaway, for example, will be considered the stand on vessel (privileged vessel) and must maintain its course and speed when an unconstrained sailing vessel approaches. The sailing vessel, in this case, would be the burdened vessel and must give way.

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 kind of boats Jacques Cartier use?

sailboat

What sail boats must follow the navigation rules for a powerboat?

When a sailboat is operating with mechanical propulsion, regardless of whether or not a sail is up it is considered a power driven vessel for the purposes of the rules of the road.

A motorboat is approaching a sailboat head on?

When a motorboat approaches a sailboat head-on, both vessels have a responsibility to avoid a collision. According to the rules of the road at sea, the power-driven motorboat must give way to the sailing vessel, as it is the stand-on vessel in this situation. The sailboat can also take action to maneuver safely, ensuring both boats can pass without incident. Communication between the vessels may also help clarify intentions and enhance safety.

Are boats recreational vehicles?

yes

When is a sailboat under sail the give way vessel when encountering a power driven vessel?

A sailboat under sale usually has the right of way over a power driven vessel. The exception is when the powered fishing boat or large commercial vessel is in a restricted channel area. In this instance, the sailboat would need to yield.
