A sailboat under sale usually has the right of way over a power driven vessel. The exception is when the powered fishing boat or large commercial vessel is in a restricted channel area. In this instance, the sailboat would need to yield.

When a power driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat which is stand on vessel?

When a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat, the power-driven vessel is considered the "stand-on" vessel, meaning it must maintain its course and speed. The sailboat, as the "give-way" vessel, is required to take action to avoid a collision. The sailboat should ensure it passes safely and can alter its course if necessary to avoid the power-driven vessel. It's crucial for both vessels to be aware of their responsibilities to ensure safe navigation.

A few examples are as follows.If the power driven vessel is:Engaged in fishingEngaged in diving operationsNot under commandHas restricted manouverability due to its draught.Has right of way.See the link below for Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea for a more comprehensive collection.

If they sailboat and a motorboat are both underway when is the sailboat the giveaway vessel?

The sailboat is considered the give-way vessel when it is overtaking another vessel, including a motorboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailing vessel under sail must also give way to a power-driven vessel that is under way and not restricted in its ability to maneuver. Additionally, if the motorboat is on a direct collision course with the sailboat, the sailboat must give way to the motorboat.


Is a sailboat with engines running a Stand-on boat?

When there is a danger of collision, the "stand-on" vessel is the one that must maintain its course while the other must take avoiding action. Sailboats usually are the stand-on vessel when meeting a power-driven vessel, even if that vessel is another sailboat (if its engine is powering the boat, and regardless of whether its sails are raised or not). There are exceptions: if the power-driven vessel is "working," such as a fishing boat dragging nets, or the power-driven vessel is confined to a narrow channel due to its draft, then the sailboat must stay out of the way, by altering course if necessary. If a collision is imminent and the other vessel shows no signs of altering course, then the sailboat should take whatever course is necessary to avoid it.
