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

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.

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 power boat cannot stop or turn as fast, especially a vessel larger than the sail boat . The sail boat should give way to the power boat.
In maritime navigation, a sailboat is considered the stand-on vessel when it is under sail and the powerboat is approaching it. According to the "Rules of the Road," the sailboat has the right of way, and the powerboat must take action to avoid a collision. However, if the sailboat is also using its engine, both vessels must follow the same rules as powerboats, where they must give way to the more maneuverable vessel.
