When it has a broad and slip-free deck, including rails that allows it.
Power boats are made fro speed and it would be unwise to attempt to stand on the small deck are at speed from danger of being thrown off.
When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the powerboat is the stand-on vessel. (Ref: SB-29)

When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the sailboat is the give-way vessel, and the powerboat is the stand-on vessel. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), the overtaking vessel must keep clear of the vessel being overtaken. Therefore, the powerboat has the right of way in this situation.
When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the powerboat is the stand-on vessel. According to maritime right-of-way rules, the stand-on vessel is required to maintain its course and speed, while the give-way vessel—in this case, the sailboat—must take action to avoid a collision. The sailboat should ensure it passes safely without endangering the powerboat.

In the scenario where a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the powerboat is considered the stand-on vessel. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), the stand-on vessel is the one that maintains its course and speed, while the give-way vessel must take action to avoid a collision. Since the sailboat is overtaking, it is the give-way vessel in this situation.
The sailboat is the stand-on vessel in certain situations, particularly when it is being overtaken by a powerboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailboat under sail has the right of way over a powerboat, unless the powerboat is constrained by draft or other navigational hazards. In general, when a sailboat and a powerboat are on a collision course, the powerboat must give way to the sailboat. However, if the sailboat is under power, it becomes the give-way vessel.
A sailboat is typically considered the stand-on vessel relative to a powerboat when both vessels are approaching each other with the sailboat on a port tack, or when the powerboat is overtaking the sailboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailboat under sail has the right of way over a powerboat that is under power. However, if the sailboat is not under sail and is using an engine, the powerboat may become the stand-on vessel. It's essential for both vessels to maintain a lookout and take action to avoid collisions.
