If a sailboat and motorboat are both underway when is the sailboat the giveaway vessel?

The sailboat is the give-way vessel when both the sailboat and the motorboat are underway and the motorboat is on a course that may result in a collision. According to the navigation rules, a sailing vessel under sail alone must give way to a power-driven vessel. Additionally, if the sailboat is overtaking the motorboat, it must also give way. In all other situations, the sailboat typically maintains its course and speed, while the motorboat is required to avoid a collision.
