1) When she is the overtaking vessel
2) When the other vessel is a Fishing Vessel or Restricted in her Ability to Manoeuvre (RAM) or Not Under Command (NUC).
3) A Sailing Vessel should not impede a Vessel Constrained by Draught (CBD).
A vessel under 20 meters may not impede any vessel which only navigate within a narrow channel or fairway.

A sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by a motorboat, as the motorboat is required to keep clear of the sailboat. Additionally, if the sailboat is on a collision course with the motorboat and does not have the right of way, it must yield. In general, when two vessels are approaching each other, the sailboat should give way to the motorboat unless the sailboat is on a tack that gives it the right of way.
The sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by the motorboat, which is generally considered the stand-on vessel. Additionally, when both vessels are on a collision course and the motorboat is to the right (starboard) of the sailboat, the sailboat must give way. In situations where both boats are under sail, the sailboat must also give way to a motorboat if the motorboat is not under command.
Unless the sailboat is overtaking a power-driven vessel, the powerboat is the give-way vessel.

The sailboat is the give-way vessel when both the sailboat and the motorboat are underway and the motorboat is on a course that may result in a collision. According to the navigation rules, a sailing vessel under sail alone must give way to a power-driven vessel. Additionally, if the sailboat is overtaking the motorboat, it must also give way. In all other situations, the sailboat typically maintains its course and speed, while the motorboat is required to avoid a collision.
In this scenario, the sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is crossing behind the motorboat because it is required to keep clear of the power-driven vessel. The presence of more passengers on the sailboat does not change its status as the give-way vessel, as the rules of navigation prioritize the type of vessel and its relative position rather than the number of people aboard. Therefore, the sailboat must yield to the motorboat regardless of its passenger count.
The sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by the motorboat, as the motorboat is considered the stand-on vessel in this scenario. Additionally, when two sailing vessels are approaching each other, the sailboat that has the wind on its port side must give way to the one with the wind on its starboard side. In general, the sailboat must also give way to any vessel that is not under command, limited in its ability to maneuver, or constrained by draft.
The sailboat is the stand-on vessel in certain situations, particularly when it is being overtaken by a powerboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailboat under sail has the right of way over a powerboat, unless the powerboat is constrained by draft or other navigational hazards. In general, when a sailboat and a powerboat are on a collision course, the powerboat must give way to the sailboat. However, if the sailboat is under power, it becomes the give-way vessel.
