When one boat is overtaking another, the overtaking boat should give way to the boat being overtaken. According to the nautical rules, the overtaking vessel is required to keep clear of the other boat, which is considered the stand-on vessel. This ensures safe navigation and prevents collisions on the water.
I would add that a smaller boat overtaking a larger boat or ship should always give way or alter its course because a larger boat or ship cannot quickly slow down or change its course. The larger vessel already underway should continue, without the added concern of an overtaking smaller boat causing a collision.
When one boat is overtaking another, the overtaking boat must give way to the boat being overtaken. This rule ensures that the overtaken vessel maintains its course and speed without interference. The overtaking boat should maneuver safely to pass without causing a hazard to the vessel ahead.
