If a sailboat and a motorboat are both underway when is the sailboat the give-way vessel when the sailboat is crossing behind the motorboat when the sailboat is carrying more passengers than the motor?

In this scenario, the sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is crossing behind the motorboat because it is required to keep clear of the power-driven vessel. The presence of more passengers on the sailboat does not change its status as the give-way vessel, as the rules of navigation prioritize the type of vessel and its relative position rather than the number of people aboard. Therefore, the sailboat must yield to the motorboat regardless of its passenger count.
