When approaching a powerboat head-on, a sailboat operator should follow the "rule of the road." Both vessels should alter their course to starboard (right) to pass on the port (left) side of each other. This helps to avoid collisions and ensures safe navigation. Additionally, the sailboat operator should maintain a lookout and be prepared to take further action if necessary.
