When powerboat B is crossing on my starboard side, I have the right of way according to the navigation rules. I should maintain my course and speed, allowing powerboat B to pass safely. However, I should also be prepared to take evasive action if necessary to avoid a collision. It's essential to keep a proper lookout and ensure that both vessels are aware of each other's movements.

If a powerboat begins to cross the starboard (right) side, the operator should maintain a safe speed and be prepared to take evasive action if necessary. The operator should also keep a lookout for any other vessels and ensure they are following the proper navigation rules, particularly the "rules of the road." If it is safe to do so, the operator may consider altering their course to avoid a potential collision. Always prioritize safety and communication with other vessels when navigating.
Do whatever is necessary to stay clear of the sailboat.
