the power driven vessel needs to give-way for sailing ships.
Unless the sailboat is overtaking a power-driven vessel, the powerboat is the give-way vessel.
Powerboat. The powerboat is easier to maneuver and turn than a vessel depending on sail and wind.

The sailboat operator is the stand-on vessel so they should keep their course and speed while the PWC is the give-away vessel so it should change course and speed.
A sailboat is considered the stand-on vessel in situations where it is sailing with the wind on its starboard side, and another vessel is approaching from the port side. In this case, the sailboat has the right of way and should maintain its course and speed. Additionally, if the sailboat is under sail and the other vessel is a powerboat, the sailboat generally has the right of way unless otherwise specified by local regulations. It's important for both vessels to keep a lookout and take action to avoid collisions.
Generally, vessels under sail power have the right of way.
The more maneuverable vessel is the give-way vessel. This normally means the smallest one. But all captains are responsible for avoiding collisions on the water.

When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the powerboat is the stand-on vessel. (Ref: SB-29)
