A sailboat has right of way unless you are underway. It's that simple. If you are not under power and they think you have to yield, they can go f themselves.

As for draggers, WTF those guys are working. Of course I yield to them.

No it is not that simple. If a vessel like a dragger is fishing and /or a vessel restricted in mobility then even a sailboat under sail has to stay out of the way, coming from the right has nothing to do with it..........yeah there are lots of rules.......

Sorry . I didn't think I was talking to any dragger captains.

You misunderstood what I was saying. Take the dragger out of the discussion. Two boats under power, the one on the right beam of the other has the right of way. Below from Navigation Rules:

"There is a "pecking order" that can be used as a simplified memory aid to determine right of way for vessels
of different types. Get very familiar with this list, as it is important to understand it thoroughly. The lower most
vessel on the list is the give way vessel, and must stay out of the way of vessels that are higher on the list:

Overtaken vessel (top priority)

Vessels not under command
Vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver
Vessels constrained by draft
Fishing vessels engaged in fishing, with gear deployed
Sailing vessels
Power driven vessels"

exactly! There you go........ My point was that some of the guys think sailboats under sail 'always' have the ROW, which is not true.

Most Blow Boaters also think they have the ROW when they got their 2cyl 50hp diesel or kicker motor propelling the pos

Many years ago in Pleasant bay while heading out ducken in a 12' low freeboard boat powered with a mighty 3hp motor I had a cabin cruiser up on plain coming across my bow with big wakes.
One 12 gage shot across the bow was all the signal needed.
Still had to pick up deeks that went overboard but stayed afloat and wet
