What should you do if you are operating a motor boat that is being overtaken by a sailboat?

If you are operating a motorboat and being overtaken by a sailboat, you should maintain your course and speed, as the sailboat has the right of way in this situation. It's important to stay vigilant and ensure that you don’t impede the sailboat's path. Additionally, be prepared to take evasive action if necessary to avoid a collision. Always follow the navigation rules and communicate with the other vessel if needed.
