An overtaking boat always gives way to the boat being overtaken
Yes, in maritime navigation, an overtaking boat is required to give way to the boat being overtaken. This rule is established to ensure safety and prevent collisions, as the overtaken vessel may not be aware of the approaching boat. The overtaking vessel must keep a safe distance and navigate around the slower-moving boat. Exceptions can exist based on specific circumstances, but the general rule is to yield to the vessel being overtaken.
Rule 13-International Overtaking (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the rules of this section any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken . In other words the vessel being overtaken is the stand-on vessel and the overtaking is the giveway vessel.

the vessel being overtaken
In a situation where one boat is overtaking another, the overtaking boat is required to give way. This is because the overtaken boat has the right of way, as it is considered to be on a steady course. The overtaking vessel must ensure that it passes safely without hindering the movement of the boat being overtaken.
If you are operating a motorboat and your motorboat is being overtaken by a sailboat, you should maintain present course and speed. The vessel that is overtaking another vessel is the give-way vessel, regardless of whether it is a sailing vessel or a power-driven vessel. The vessel being overtaken is always the stand-on vessel.
