When a sailboat and a personal watercraft (PWC) meet head-on, the PWC is considered the give-way vessel. According to the navigational rules, the sailboat, which is typically under sail, has the right of way. The PWC operator should take action to avoid a collision by altering course or speed. Always ensure to maintain a proper lookout and follow safe boating practices.
