Q

Daymarks marking the starboard side of the channel when going towards the sea are __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA B lateral system used in the United States • The meaning of red vs. green aids when returning from sea • The difference between shapes (squares vs. triangles) for daymarks

💭 Think About

• Think about the saying used in the U.S. for coming back from sea and which color is on the starboard side when returning. • If red is on the starboard side when returning, what color would be on the starboard side when going toward the sea? • Once you know the correct color, match it with the proper shape used for that side of the channel in the IALA B system.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in the IALA B system which side (port or starboard) uses triangles and which uses squares for daymarks. • Verify which color (red or green) is on the starboard side when returning from sea in U.S. waters. • Make sure you are carefully noting the direction: the question is about going towards the sea, not returning.
