The powerboat should give way to the sailing vessel, as it is considered the stand-on vessel under the rules of navigation. The sailboat has the right of way since it is under sail. The powerboat should take action to avoid a collision by altering its course or speed, ensuring the safety of both vessels. It’s important for the powerboat operator to remain vigilant and communicate intentions if necessary.

What sailboat must follow navigation rules for a powerboat?

Any sailing vessel that is operating mechanical propulsion is considered a power driven vessel under the rules of the road, and must maneuver accordingly. This is regardless of whether or not they also have a sail up.

If they sailboat and a motorboat are both underway when is the sailboat the giveaway vessel?

The sailboat is considered the give-way vessel when it is overtaking another vessel, including a motorboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailing vessel under sail must also give way to a power-driven vessel that is under way and not restricted in its ability to maneuver. Additionally, if the motorboat is on a direct collision course with the sailboat, the sailboat must give way to the motorboat.

When is a sailboat the stand on vessel in relations to powerboat?

A sailboat is typically considered the stand-on vessel relative to a powerboat when both vessels are approaching each other with the sailboat on a port tack, or when the powerboat is overtaking the sailboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailboat under sail has the right of way over a powerboat that is under power. However, if the sailboat is not under sail and is using an engine, the powerboat may become the stand-on vessel. It's essential for both vessels to maintain a lookout and take action to avoid collisions.

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.
