STARBOARD HAND BUOYS
Description:
Starboard-hand buoys are red in color and mark a danger or the right-hand side of a channel (when facing upstream). When traveling upstream, a starboard-hand buoy should always be kept on the starboard side of the vessel.
Feature:
1. A starboard-hand buoy's top-mark is a single red cone pointing upward.
2. If equipped with a light, it is red in color and operates on either a (Fl) 4s flash cycle
3. (Q) 1s quick-flash cycle (single flashes 1 second apart).
4. This buoy is identified by letters and even-digit numbers.
When traveling upstream, port-hand (green) buoys should always be kept on the port (left) side of the vessel and
starboard-hand (red) buoys should be kept on the starboard (right) side of the vessel (the reverse
is true when traveling downstream)
A simple way to remember on what side to leave buoys when traveling upstream is to use
the mnemonic (new-mawn-ick) code "red, right, return", which means "keep red buoys on the right (starboard) side of
the boat when returning upstream". Traditionally, the term upstream means any direction
that is moving up-river, into a harbor, or toward a shoreline.
