Yes. If you were other than the novice you run around accusing others of being,
you would know that a 36 foot sailboat with engine off, and a 36 powerboat with
the motor off are equals in the pecking order.

Not necessarily, it depends why the powerboat engine is off. If the
engine is off because it is broken, then the powerboat is NUC, Not
Under Command, and should be displaying appropriate signals. If the
powerboat is NUC, the sailboat becomes the giveway vessel (assuming it
is underway and making way).
