A sailboat is considered the stand-on vessel when it is under sail and encounters a powerboat that is not under command or is overtaking. In general, when two vessels approach each other, the sailboat has the right of way if it is on a collision course with a powerboat that is approaching from behind. However, if the powerboat is operating at a safe speed and is not overtaking, it must yield to the sailboat. Always, both vessels should take action to avoid collisions, adhering to the "rules of the road."
