Apowerboat is about to cross paths with a sailboat under sail what should the power boat do

Try hard to change path to avoid collision.

Explanation:

A sailboat has a lot less oportunity to avoid a colllision, as this type of boat can only turn very slowly and requires more actions from the sailors to start a turn or slow speed, and even that, slowing speed takes some time. A powerboat on the other side is really fast to turn and can slow down more effectively to avoid collision, so thats always the action to be taken by the powerboat.
