Using Navigation Marks Safely When Boating

Paul Glatzel from ‪@PowerboatTrainingUK‬ talks us through how to use navigation marks safely when passing through harbours and ports. Paul looks at the differences between red (port) and green (starboard) lateral markers, the variance in sizes, shapes and numbers used, cardinal markers, and how charts and/or chart-plotters should also be used to safely navigate through channels.

Please go through how I must react with northern and southern cardinal marks, I understand that with east and west I have to keep to that side. Thanks
