No, a boat under sail is not always a stand-on vessel. The stand-on or give-way designation depends on the specific circumstances and the relative positions of the vessels involved. Generally, a sailboat has the right of way over a powerboat when both are under way, but if another sailboat is approaching from certain angles, the one on the port tack may be required to give way. Therefore, it’s essential to assess each situation individually according to the rules of the road.
