When navigating a narrow channel, boats should generally favor the right side, which is known as the starboard side in maritime terms. This practice aligns with the "keep to the right" rule, helping to reduce the risk of collisions with oncoming vessels. Additionally, local navigation rules or markers may indicate specific sides to navigate on, so it's essential to be aware of those as well. Always maintain a safe speed and be vigilant for other boats and obstacles.
