There are many websites at which you can learn the "rules of the road".
Regardless of these it is always a requirement to maintain safety at all times. I have been sailing for more than thirty years and if I was in such a poistion I would go astern of the other boat so long as it was safe to to so or simply slow down and allow him to clear.
