Throw a windsurfer in there and you got something!

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?
