Powerboat. When a sailboat overtakes a powerboat, the <u>powerboat</u> is the <u>stand-on vessel</u>. In the Navigational rules, the boat that overtakes another one is the "give-way vessel" and the boat being overtaken is the "stand-on vessel". Any vessel overtaking another must stay away from the vessel being overtaken.
<em>Rules of the Road (Collision Regulations) spell out which vessel is the Stand-on vessel and which vessel is the Give-way vessel. They also explain actions to take for crossing, meeting and overtaking.</em>
