I don't understand your concerns here. The yacht cleared the ship so
apparently there was sufficient room for its passage.

But suppose the yacht had had some kind of engine failure or other
problem!

I recently saw a ca. 28' power boat happily zooming along right ahead
and in the path of a loaded containership riding the tide down the
Delaware river, and totally ignoring the pleas of the ship's pilot to
"pick one side or the other". OK, as long as everything works.
