In the scenario where a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat, the power-driven vessel is the stand-on vessel. According to the maritime navigation rules, the vessel being overtaken must maintain its course and speed, while the overtaking vessel (the sailboat) must give way. This ensures safe navigation and helps prevent collisions. The sailboat should exercise caution and maneuver safely around the power-driven vessel.
