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.
When a powerboat approaches a sailboat on its starboard side in darkness or reduced visibility, it must take care to maintain a safe distance and reduce speed to avoid collision. The powerboat should also ensure that its navigation lights are illuminated and clearly visible. Additionally, it is important to sound an appropriate signal to alert the sailboat of its presence and intentions. Finally, the powerboat operator should be prepared to take evasive action if necessary.
