Starboard is green and port is red. An easy way to remember is to think of port wine which is red.
Just like on a boat, red to port & green to starboard. You also need a white light at the rear.
A red light (green is Starboard).Red Port or left looking at the bow
You are looking at the right side.The green light is on the starboard (right) side of a boat,the red is the port (left).
Red marks the Port or left side. (Green is Starboard or the right-hand side.) Port
Port to port is the preferred method passage in most cases, however it is not always possible or practical. Also in crossing situations it maybe unsafe to arrange a port to port passage. I have seen plenty of acceptable starboard to starboard passages.
Green on the starboard (right hand side standing aft and looking forward) red on the port.
From port to starboard in assending order. From port to starboard in assending order.
Standing at the stern looking forward port is on the left starboard is on the right
Red. Easy way to remember, port wine is usually red. The port side is on the left. The starboard side (right) is signified by a green light. Passing at night should be done on the "green" (safe) side when approaching another watercraft.
The starboard, or right hand, side- the one on the port side is red.
Starboard = Green = Right side. Port = Red = Left side. As an easy way to remember them look at the number of letters in each: starboard has more than port green has more than red right has more than left GRASS is green, so Green Right At Starboard Side
