Any powered vessel must give way to a boat under sail power. The main reason is maneuverability as the sail boat cannot reverse its sails in order to stop. Since the sailboat is dependent entirely on the wind for power it simply just cannot go in any direction like a powered craft can.
What else can I help you with?
If a sailboat and a motor boat are both underway when is the sailboat the give way vessel?
The sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by the motorboat, which is generally considered the stand-on vessel. Additionally, when both vessels are on a collision course and the motorboat is to the right (starboard) of the sailboat, the sailboat must give way. In situations where both boats are under sail, the sailboat must also give way to a motorboat if the motorboat is not under command.
When a sailboat is approaching a pwerboat which one is the give way vessel?
Unless the sailboat is overtaking a power-driven vessel, the powerboat is the give-way vessel.
If the sailboat and a motorboat are both underway when is the sailboat the give way vessel?
Whenever a danger of collision exists.

When is the sailboat the stand of vessel in relations to a recreational power boat?
The sailboat is the stand-on vessel in certain situations, particularly when it is being overtaken by a powerboat. According to the "Rules of the Road," a sailboat under sail has the right of way over a powerboat, unless the powerboat is constrained by draft or other navigational hazards. In general, when a sailboat and a powerboat are on a collision course, the powerboat must give way to the sailboat. However, if the sailboat is under power, it becomes the give-way vessel.
A sailboat and a PWC are meeting head-on. Which one is the give-way vessel?
the PWC
What do you do if a powerboat is about to cross paths with a sailboat under sail?
If a powerboat is about to cross paths with a sailboat under sail give way, the sail boat is the stand-on vessel, therefore you are the give-way vessel and need to move accordingly.
A sailboat and a pwc are meeting headon which one is the stand on vessel?
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.
A sailboat and a PWC are meeting head on which one is the give way vessel?
A PWC is a Power Driven Vessel so she must give way.
