🔍 Key Concepts

• Lateral Aids to Navigation in the U.S. (IALA-B system) • Shape and color relationship of daymarks (triangular vs. square) • Association between red/right/returning and the shapes you see on fixed aids

💭 Think About

• When you are returning from sea in a channel, what color is kept on your starboard (right) side, and what SHAPE are those fixed daymarks? • Think about the rule "Red, Right, Returning"—what shape are the red dayboards on pilings as you enter a harbor? • How does the shape (triangle vs. square) help you quickly know which side of the channel you should pass on?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall the standard: triangular vs. square daymarks and which side of the channel each marks when returning from sea. • Connect "Red, Right, Returning" to the color AND shape of the corresponding daymarks, not just buoys. • Make sure you’re thinking of a single-colored daymark, not a range marker or sector light with multiple colors.
