Are a yacht and a sailboat the same?

No, a yacht and a sailboat are not necessarily the same. The sailboat is, as its name implies, a watercraft that moves under wind power. The yacht, on the other hand, could be a sailboat, but it does not have to be. The yacht is a larger vessel (usually over 30 feet in length) used for recreation, and the yacht can be (and usually is) classified as either a sailing vessel or a motor craft.


When does a sailboat have the right away over a recreation vesel?

== There are too many variables to give a short answer, but generally speaking... a sailboat has the right of way over a powered recreational vessel when the sailboat is operating under the sail's power only.

When is a sailboat The stand on vessel in relations to recreational powerboat?

Generally speaking a sailboat under sail is the stand on-vessel (privileged) over a power vessel. There are important exceptions. A sailboat cannot impede a vessel that is limited in it's ability to maneuver (examples; a tug boat with a tow, a fishing vessel with nets, etc) A sailboat cannot impede a vessel constrained by it's draft ( that is it cannot move outside the channel because it will run aground) A sailboat under power is consider a power vessel and must obey the same rules as all power vessels. A sailing vessel may not impede a vessel that can only maneuver in a narrow channel or fairway. Please refer the link provided below.
