🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA Region B lateral system (red-right-returning in North and South America, Japan, Korea, Philippines) • Characteristics of nun buoys vs. can buoys (shape and numbering) • Color and numbering conventions for starboard vs. port hand buoys when entering from seaward in Region B

💭 Think About

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which color and side (port or starboard) corresponds to nun buoys in Region B. • Verify which buoy shape (conical vs. cylindrical) matches a nun buoy. • Double-check which side (port or starboard) uses even numbers in the IALA Region B lateral system.
