When a motorboat is approaching a sailboat Head on what should the motorboat do?

When a motorboat is approaching a sailboat head-on, both vessels are considered to be on a collision course. According to the "Rules of the Road," the motorboat should give way to the sailboat, as sailboats under sail have the right of way in such situations. The motorboat should alter its course to starboard (right) to pass the sailboat safely. This helps prevent a collision and ensures safe navigation on the water.
