Using Navigation Marks Safely When Boating

Paul Glatzel from ‪@PowerboatTrainingUK‬ talks us through how to use navigation marks safely when passing through harbours and ports. Paul looks at the differences between red (port) and green (starboard) lateral markers, the variance in sizes, shapes and numbers used, cardinal markers, and how charts and/or chart-plotters should also be used to safely navigate through channels.

East cardinal mark looks like an Easter Egg -the only way I can remember 😃

[@DoktorUka]

Please go through how I must react with northern and southern cardinal marks, I understand that with east and west I have to keep to that side. Thanks

Don’t you have that backwards? You said green in the right returning to harbor.

[@Helliconia54]

What type of buoy/beacon would show this FI (4) 15s 28m 12m ?

[@paulvr3158]

"pls mention red right returning" and where that is relevant..

[@michaelryding2409]

Red Right Returning is not used in the UK it is only used in the IALA B regions, such as USA

[@TedBowman-p9o]

Your showing green on rite, I thought its red right return in the UK ?
