A power-driven vessel is a type of watercraft that is propelled primarily by machinery, such as engines or motors, rather than relying on sails or human power. This category includes various vessels, from large ships and ferries to smaller boats equipped with engines. Power-driven vessels are subject to specific maritime regulations and navigation rules, particularly concerning their operation and interaction with other types of vessels on the water.

When a power driven vessel is being overtaken by A power driven vessel which is the stand on Vessel?
When a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by another power-driven vessel, the overtaken vessel is the stand-on vessel. This means the overtaken vessel should maintain its course and speed, while the overtaking vessel is required to take action to avoid a collision. It is the responsibility of the overtaking vessel to ensure safe passage and to maneuver appropriately.

When must the operator of a sailboat give way to a recreational power-driven vessel?

When a power driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat which is stand on vessel?
When a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat, the power-driven vessel is considered the "stand-on" vessel, meaning it must maintain its course and speed. The sailboat, as the "give-way" vessel, is required to take action to avoid a collision. The sailboat should ensure it passes safely and can alter its course if necessary to avoid the power-driven vessel. It's crucial for both vessels to be aware of their responsibilities to ensure safe navigation.
What action should be taken when a sailboat under sail and a power-driven vessel are about to cross paths?
The power-driven vessel should change course and speed.
What should you do when operating a power driven vessel and your vessel is being overtaken by a sailing vessel?
Steer into the wind.

What should a sailing vessel do when overtaking a power driven vessel?
Keep clear... The power driven vessel should, if possible, maintain course and speed. The only rule for overtaking is that you keep your distance while overtaking
Is a power driven vessel always a stand on vessel?
