When a sailboat is approaching a powerboat, the powerboat is typically the give-way vessel. According to the "Rules of the Road" for navigation, the sailboat under sail has the right of way, while the powerboat must take action to avoid a collision. However, if the sailboat is under power (using its engine), the rules may differ, and it may need to give way to other vessels. Always check local regulations and specific circumstances as they can affect right-of-way rules.
