When is the sailboat the stand on vessel in relations with a recreational power boat?

According to the "Rules of the Road," the sailboat has the right of way, and the powerboat must take action to avoid a collision. However, if the sailboat is also using its engine, both vessels must follow the same rules as powerboats, where they must give way to the more maneuverable vessel.

The powerboat should reduce speed and maneuver to avoid a collision, ensuring safe passage for both vessels. Always maintain a lookout and communicate if necessary to clarify intentions.
