Close call. Which boat was at fault in your opinion? Does the small or big get the right of way?

First rule that applies here is that motor ships give way to all other participants. What make it a bit less clear-cut here ist that also the sailing yacht was running under engine. However, since the foresail was still up, the motor yacht should have evaded more clearly to starboard. Nevertheless, it's never good to insist and so the sailing yacht should have evaded a few degrees to starboard too.
Wrong, as you say the yacht was motoring it means they were both under power, so all they had to do is pass port to port at a safe distance.
If the yacht was also under power then they should be showing a cone which lets other vessels know that they are under power, in reality most yachts don't do this though.
Read the col regs.

@dhimmel motor ships were on the wrong way. He should have to give way to other ships.
