Re: Does size matter?
"No they don't. Size has nothing to do with it. Sail has right of way over power."
No they don't. It's a bit more complicated than you seem to think. Unpowered boats generally have right of way over small powered boats. Large commerical ships, commercial fishing, and tugs generally have right of way over other boats regardless of whether they're powered. Emergency craft have right of way over everything.
The general rule of thumb is basically just common sense - the craft most able to manouevre is the one that should do so. A sailing dingy doesn't have right of way over a supertanker, because the tanker is simply not capable of steering out the way in time even if it wants to.
