These buoys are marked with both red and green colors, with one color dominant — showing which side of the channel is preferred. 🌍 Region A: Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Gulf, and some Asian countries 🌏 Region B: North, Central & South America, Japan, North & South Korea, and the Philippines In Region A, “green to starboard” keeps you safe. In Region B, remember “Red Right Returning.” Understanding these rules helps beginner sailors avoid confusion and navigate safely. 🔗 More sailing tips, cheat sheets & free downloads here: [bit.ly/LatestCheats] 👉 Watch our full sailing guide: https://youtu.be/30csRFMZh24 ⚓ Subscribe for more beginner sailing tutorials, navigation tips, and how-to guides to help you sail with confidence.
