What should a sailing vessel do when overtaking a power driven vessel?
Keep clear... The power driven vessel should, if possible, maintain course and speed. The only rule for overtaking is that you keep your distance while overtaking
When can a power driven vessel becomes a sailing vessel?
When being propelled by wind alone and without auxiliary motive force.
When does a power-driven vesel becomes a sailing vessel?
When sails are up and are producing more momentum then power (if the vessel is still using power to make way)
What should the operator of a power driven vessel do when crossing paths with a sailboat under sail?

When is the only time a sailing vessel gives way to a power-driven vessel?
In Australia, sailing boats only have to give way to commercial boats. When collision is imminent. Exercising your "right of way" can be detrimental to your lives and crafts.
When is a sailboat under sail the give-vessel when encountering a power-driven vessel?
There are general rules for which vessel should give way but circumstances dictate which vessel does give way and which one stands on.For instance, there are many occasions when a sailing vessel not only should but must give way to a power driven vessel. 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.
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.
