3 pts for the best answer. Fewer points for second, third best.

You're sailing a 36' relatively modern sailboat sailing on a broad reach,
starboard tack. To port is another sailboat also sailing on a starboard
tack, approaching on a beam reach. Additionally, to starboard of your
vessel is a sailboat under power. The pecking order is obviously, leward
over windward, sail over power. Unfortunately, the sailboat under power is
not giving way. You signal several times using various methods available,
but they're distracted, don't respond, perhaps don't know what to do. You
can't turn to starboard, because that would be directly into the sailboat
under power. You can't jibe, because that would be directly into the
approaching sailboat on the port. Time is rapidly running out to avoid a
collision, which you're required to do.

What are your options? What would you do?
