When a sailboat operator is approaching a personal watercraft (PWC) head-on, both vessels should take action to avoid a collision. The sailboat should maintain its course and speed while the PWC operator should alter their course to starboard (right) to pass the sailboat on the port side. Clear communication through sound signals may also be helpful to indicate intentions. It's essential for both operators to remain vigilant and prepared to react to each other's movements.
