When a sail boat is approaching a power boat which one is the give away vessel?
When a sailboat is approaching a powerboat, the powerboat is typically the give-way vessel. According to the "Rules of the Road" for navigation, the sailboat under sail has the right of way, while the powerboat must take action to avoid a collision. However, if the sailboat is under power (using its engine), the rules may differ, and it may need to give way to other vessels. Always check local regulations and specific circumstances as they can affect right-of-way rules.

A motorboat is approaching a sailboat head-on. What should the motorboat do?
The power driven vessel should give way to the sailing vessel in most cases. The action taken shall be taken in good time, be obvious and seamanlike and should result in the give way vessel passing at a safe distance.
What should a sailboat operator do when approaching a PWC head-on?
Firstly avoid any crash or accident, but the powerboat pilot is the one to lawfully yield the right of way to vessels under sail power. Sailboats lack the maneuverability to stop in the same manner as a power craft.
