When a sailing vessel and a PWC are meeting head on normally, the sail boat has the right of way, but who wants to risk a collision? Both should be aware of what is going on.
Neither- Power vs Power
A sailing vessel operator when approaching a pwc head on should slow down and change course.
When approaching a sailing vessel head on, it is up to the motorboat to yield. The motorboat operator should swing wide as early as possible to stay well clear of the sailing vessel.
When a motorboat and a personal watercraft (PWC) are meeting head-on, the motorboat is typically considered the stand-on vessel. According to maritime navigation rules, the stand-on vessel is the one that must maintain its course and speed, while the give-way vessel (in this case, the PWC) must take action to avoid a collision. Therefore, the PWC should alter its course to ensure a safe passage.
