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.
