What should a sailing vessel operator do when overtaking a power-driven vessel?
When overtaking a power-driven vessel, a sailing vessel operator should ensure they have a clear understanding of the right-of-way rules, typically following the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). The operator must maintain a safe distance and maneuver to pass the power-driven vessel on its starboard side unless otherwise indicated. It is also crucial to communicate intentions, possibly using sound signals, and to monitor the other vessel's response to ensure safe passage. Finally, the operator should remain vigilant for any changes in the situation that may require adjustment of their course or speed.

What should you do when operating a power-driven vessel and your vessel is being overtaken by a sailing vessel?
You always must give the right of way to the sailboat unless it's using the engine then you abide by the rule of yielding to the boat on the right.Remember the golden rule, Avoid collisions at all costs.In the IRPCS or "The rules of road" there are many other rules relevant to this situation, all of which are Subordinate to the golden rule.A power vessel make keep clear and remember how maneuverable they are. Whereas, a sailboat has limited maneuverability due to their inability of sailing into the wind.An overtaking vessel must keep clear. The vessel being overtaken is the stand-on vessel and must maintain its speed and course.So in this situation the power vessel should maintain it's course and speed. Whereas the sailing vessel must keep clear while overtaking but the power vessel must make sure it is not preventing the sailboat overtaking it because power gives way to sail.Ultimately, make your intentions clear, remember to use your common sense, remember the points mentioned above and AVOID COLLISIONS AT ALL COSTS.Happy Sailing.
