When a sailing vessel and pwc are meeting head-on which one is the giveway vessel?
There is a misconception that a motor driven vessel always gives way to sail. This is not so. There are many things which decide which vessel gives way, tides, wind, the channel and the conditions of the vessels themselves. The operations they are involved in also affect who gives way. It is a rule, however, that BOTH vessels are responsible for avoiding collisions.

What should you do when operating a power-driven vessel and your vessel is being overtaken by a sailing vessel?
You always must give the right of way to the sailboat unless it's using the engine then you abide by the rule of yielding to the boat on the right.Remember the golden rule, Avoid collisions at all costs.In the IRPCS or "The rules of road" there are many other rules relevant to this situation, all of which are Subordinate to the golden rule.A power vessel make keep clear and remember how maneuverable they are. Whereas, a sailboat has limited maneuverability due to their inability of sailing into the wind.An overtaking vessel must keep clear. The vessel being overtaken is the stand-on vessel and must maintain its speed and course.So in this situation the power vessel should maintain it's course and speed. Whereas the sailing vessel must keep clear while overtaking but the power vessel must make sure it is not preventing the sailboat overtaking it because power gives way to sail.Ultimately, make your intentions clear, remember to use your common sense, remember the points mentioned above and AVOID COLLISIONS AT ALL COSTS.Happy Sailing.
