🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA buoyage system and what vertically-striped buoys indicate • Color patterns used for safe water buoys versus isolated danger buoys • Typical light color associated with safe water buoys

💭 Think About

• Think about what a vertically red-and-white striped buoy marks and what role it plays in navigation channels. • Compare which aids to navigation use black and red, black and yellow, or black and green color combinations. • Recall which buoy type is safe to pass on either side and what its standard light characteristics are, including color.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which buoy type is vertically striped in the IALA system and what colors those stripes are. • Verify what light color is allowed on that buoy type in the Light List or buoyage references. • Eliminate any options that match the color patterns of cardinal buoys or isolated danger marks, which do NOT use vertical striping.
