🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA-B lateral buoyage system used in the United States • The "red right returning" memory aid and what "returning" means • Difference between colors (red/green) and shapes (nun, can, triangle, square) for aids to navigation

💭 Think About

• Are you going towards sea or returning from sea in this question, and how does that affect the side that red marks are on? • In the U.S. system, which color is used on the starboard side when returning from sea, and what is the typical shape for that color? • For daymarks, how do the common shapes (square vs. triangle) relate to the traditional buoy shapes (can vs. nun)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether red or green marks are kept to starboard when returning from sea under IALA-B • Match the correct shape (triangle or square) with the appropriate color and side in the U.S. system • Confirm that the question asks about going towards the sea, so you may need to reverse the usual “red right returning” pattern
