🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA Region B lateral system (used in the U.S.) and the phrase "red, right, returning" when entering from seaward • Difference between buoy shapes (can, nun) and daymark/dayboard shapes (square vs triangular boards) for port and starboard sides • How the shape alone (ignoring color in this drawing) identifies port vs starboard side of a channel marker when returning from sea

💭 Think About

• When you are approaching from seaward (returning), which side of the channel is marked by red aids, and what is the standard dayboard shape for those aids? • Which shape in the illustration most closely matches the standard starboard daymark board used in U.S. waters, even though the test drawing is in black and white? • Eliminate the shapes that are commonly associated with port-side markers or with regulatory/information marks rather than lateral (port/starboard) marks.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you remember: starboard vs port daymark shapes (triangle vs square) in the U.S. "red right returning" system • Verify that you are focusing on lateral aids only, not special-purpose or regulatory marks, which often use circles, diamonds, or other outlines • Confirm which option in the figure is a simple geometric board shape that matches the standard chart symbol for a starboard-side daymark
