Q

Under the U.S. Aids to Navigation System on the Western Rivers, which describes the daymarks on the right descending bank?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Western Rivers Aids to Navigation System and how it differs from standard lateral marks • Meaning of right descending bank (in relation to river flow, not your boat’s heading) • Shape and color conventions for daymarks marking the right side of the channel when going downstream

💭 Think About

• First, picture yourself traveling downstream: which bank is the right descending bank, and which color aids normally mark that side on U.S. rivers? • Recall whether Western Rivers use triangles/squares or diamonds/squares for daymarks, and which shape is associated with which side of the channel. • Think about whether the shape/color system stays the same between buoys and fixed daymarks, or if only the support changes while shapes/colors stay consistent.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which color marks the right side of the channel when proceeding downstream on Western Rivers. • Confirm which shape (triangular, square, or diamond) corresponds to that same side in the U.S. lateral system. • Check that the correct option shows the proper combination of color, shape, and reflector border for the right descending bank.
