In this instance the sailing vessel is required to keep out of the way of the vessel it is overtaking. Once the overtake is in progress, the situation cannot become a crossing situation. However, at all times either vessel has a responsibility to take action to avoid a collision.
Powerboat
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
