Sailboat. A PWC, or personal watercraft, is the give way vessel to any sailboat. In the US, a PWC refers to any small powerboat less than 13 feet in length. As such, it is a powerboat and must give way to all sailboats.

According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), the overtaking vessel must keep clear of the vessel being overtaken. Therefore, the powerboat has the right of way in this situation.

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.
