Lateral and Preferred Channel Marks gives a Day Skipper, powerboat, or harbour-pilotage learner the working knowledge needed for IALA Region A pilotage where mark recognition, direction of buoyage, safe side, and light rhythm need fast recall.
Recognise Region A lateral and preferred channel marks and state the safe side in the direction of buoyage.
Do not treat this as a bare fact list. A strong revision answer links the topic to mark family, colour pattern, topmark, light rhythm, charted danger, direction of buoyage, and the safe side of the mark, then states what you would do next.
