Give this man a CEE GAR.
Underway means not anchored, not tied to dock, and not aground... aka free to move.
Yes the sailboat undersail is the "stand on" vessel. You are the give way vessel. UNLESS you fit the description of a "vessel not under command" (e.g. anchored, aground, etc.). OR THE VESSEL IS OVER TAKING YOU.
Sailboat loses its privlege if it is overtaking a power vessel, and become gives way vessel.
OR..... Should have hit 5 shorts on your horn and launched a distress flare into his sail. LOL
