When a sailboat is approaching a powerboat, which one is the give-way vessel?

The powerboat is the give way vessel. This is because powerboat is easy to maneuver and can as well turn easily. Any boat that overtakes another boat is the give-way vessel while the boat that is overtaken is the stand on vessel. A sailboat could find it difficult to maneuver because of the wind.  

According to rule 13 (NAVIGATION RULE), where a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the sailboat must stay clear of the powerboat.  

In rare circumstances, sailboat is the give way vessel.

Such circumstance can occur if,  

Sailboat gives way to slow moving vessels such as tankers, cruise ship

It is advisable that Helmsman (a boat driver) should take proper precaution to avoid collision at all time.  

Powerboat also known as motorboat or speedboat is a boat powered by engine, which is of different shapes and sizes. Other major type of boat includes: game boats, Personal Watercraft (PWC) Boats, Runabout Boats, Jet Boats, Wakeboard/ Ski Boats, Banana Boats and many others.
