Hmm... and if a sailboat has an engine in working order, it can be
started by turning the key to avoid a collision.

A sailboat with an engine that doesn't work should get it fixed, so a
collision that could have been avoided by using it is (according to your
stupid theory) *still* at fault.

A sailboat with no engine installed and no possible way to have one
whould be banned from the water, since clearly having an engine is vital
for avoiding collisions, therefor they can be run down with impunity.

In other words, you're wrong.

If the boat's engine is running *and in gear* the according to the
rules, it is a powerboat.
