The boat that is doing the passing is the Give-way vessel. They must stay clear of the boat that they are passing. The boat being passed is the Stand-on vessel, they do not move or alter speed.

It depends on the Situation, in a Crossing situation where there are 2 vessels crossing each other, the vessel which has the other vessel on her starboard side shall give way and avoid an alteration of course to Port. So you are the 'stand on' boat if you can see a boat on your port bow...more or less.
When one boat overtakes another, the overtaking vessel is considered the give-way vessel no matter what it's powered by.
The stand-to boat is the least maneuverable one. Easy rule of thumb: Whoever can get out of the way easiest is the one who does. If I'm driving a sailboat and you a PWC, you're the give-way boat. If I'm driving a sailboat and you an aircraft carrier, I'm the give-way boat.
