If another boat signals to pass you astern, you should maintain your course and speed while ensuring that the other vessel has enough room to pass safely. It’s important to keep a lookout for the passing vessel and to communicate your intentions if necessary. Make sure to follow any applicable navigation rules and be aware of the conditions around you.
If another boat signals their intention to pass you from astern, you should answer with the same signal if in agreement and maintain course and speed.
