When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, it typically does so by maneuvering to gain speed and positioning itself ahead of the powerboat, often taking advantage of favorable wind conditions. The sailboat must ensure it maintains a safe distance and adheres to maritime navigation rules, which dictate that vessels under sail have the right of way over motorized vessels in certain situations. This interaction illustrates the dynamics of sailing and powerboating, highlighting the importance of awareness and communication on the water.
When a sail boat overtakes a power boat the power boat is the stand on vessel.
When one boat overtakes another, the overtaking vessel is considered the give-way vessel no matter what it's powered by.

The question should be "When is the sailboat the stand-on vessel...? The answer is if the sailboat has an engine and if it is in operation, the sailboat is treated as a power boat in determining stand-on status. The right-of-way would then follow the rules for power boats.
