When a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by another power-driven vessel, the overtaken vessel is the stand-on vessel. This means the overtaken vessel should maintain its course and speed, while the overtaking vessel is required to take action to avoid a collision. It is the responsibility of the overtaking vessel to ensure safe passage and to maneuver appropriately.
Steer into the wind.
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.
When a power-driven vessel is being overtaken by a sailboat, the power-driven vessel is considered the "stand-on" vessel, meaning it must maintain its course and speed. The sailboat, as the "give-way" vessel, is required to take action to avoid a collision. The sailboat should ensure it passes safely and can alter its course if necessary to avoid the power-driven vessel. It's crucial for both vessels to be aware of their responsibilities to ensure safe navigation.

The vessel being "overtaken" is the stand-on vessel. The vessel "overtaking" is the give-way vessel.
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.
When a power-driven vessel (PWC) is overtaking another vessel, it must give way to the vessel being overtaken. According to maritime navigation rules, the overtaking vessel is responsible for ensuring safe passage and must avoid collisions. The vessel being overtaken maintains its course and speed, while the overtaking vessel adjusts its course and speed as necessary to avoid interfering with the other vessel's navigation. This rule helps maintain safety and order on the water.
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 that is overtaking another vessel is the vessel that should give way. This means that the vessel that is being overtaken can remain on course.
This is a case where the sailing vessel does not have the right of way. The overtaking vessel must stay clear of the vessel being overtaken. The best thing you could do would me to keep a steady course, or make any changes obvious so the overtaking sailboat knows what you are doing.
