OMG, you did a fantastic job on explaining this Nav aids, after i watched many youtube videos, yours is the most cleared one. keep it short keep it clear!
This is one of the clearest and informative explanations I've seen yet. Thank you very much !!
This may have been the most clearly informative video I've seen yet. You explain everything very well. Going to request my whole family view this as I'd like to sometimes just be a passenger on the boat without having to stand right next to helm. This video should give any of them the confidence to operate our boat. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you fount this helpful.
These rules only apply in the US. In Australia the red markers are to port and green to starboard when returning to harbour. This might be good to note in the videos.
In Australia I use the acronym "PLI SLO" meaning Port Left In, Starboard Left Out"
Red 2 red coming in
or the one I use,.... Port to Port to Port,😏Port to Stbd to sea.
Agreed. The system in the video is the opposite to what applies in most other countries around the world. For some reason, the US decided they were not part of the international community and decided not to conform to the international standard when it was introduced.
@garamac Agreed. One day they will realise that they may need to confirm to global standards, but I am not holding my breath.
Great boating the USA instructional video.
well done Captain Scott! Excellent teaching/demo methodology to assist learning :)
In Canada we use some different terms but the international system is similar otherwise. I live on the Canada-USA border and I have sailed all the Great Lakes and the connecting rivers (except Lake Michigan) all the way to the Atlantic many times. I have never seen a preferred channel marker showing two colours on four parts. They are always two colours on three approximately equal-size parts. I believe your example of a port hand preferred channel buoy should appear as green, red, green. In the video the top and bottom parts of the preferred channel marker should be green and cover a total of approximately 2/3 of the buoy with the middle 1/3 red. A simpler description would be a green buoy with a red band. I like to associate the main colour with the main channel. Pass the buoy as though it displays only its main colour to continue in the main channel. Pass it as though it displays only its secondary colour to enter the secondary channel. Ultimately a preferred channel buoy is two buoys in one. It marks the boundaries of both the main and secondary channels where the port side of one channel meets the starboard side of the other.
Well done! I now have clarity regarding returning to shore vs. ICW markers. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your kind words!
Thanks Scott, this was super helpful! - extra helpful for me personally because I work on the architecture tours in Chicago and in the harbor so I knew where I was haha
One way I remember green markers are odd numbered is a slogan I came up with "green is odd, and if you're odd your square". My other saying is for the ICW. That saying is "green tea - green sea" meaning in most cases is if I am south bound on the ICW on the east coast of the USA I should keep my green markers to my port.
I only ever drove my dad's 14 foot v hull but all this fascinates me. Thank you for telling me why we had a red and green light on the nose. I just thought it was cool and decorative when I was 10 I always wanted it on. So fascinating and Merry Christmas!
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year.
Great video. Thank you
Thank you for your very clear explanations.
This is very confusing. In Australia its all the other way around. I always thought the rules of navigation were international.
They are. Except for the US who have to be special.
Here in Europe the rules are also different. On the port side we have red lights and red lateral markers (because the Porto wine is red 😂)
Yeah, This is specific to IALA-B (The Americas). In IALA-A (Includes Australia and Europe) it's green right returning. Brutal right!?!
My friend, It's called Aids to Navigation, not Navigation Aids.
The Nav aids are the tools in the vessel, such as ECDIS, Radar, GPS, navigation charts, etc.
But the Aids to Navigation are buoys, beacons, lighthouses, etc.
That is a valuable technical correction. Thanks for calling that out.
Great video. It would have been great to mention in the introduction that these navigational aids refer to the IALA system of AREA B and not A. Greetings and cheers from AREA A
That's a great point. Things are a little different in Europe
Absolutely my first thought, IALA A or B? But the reply is revealing … “Things are a little different in Europe”. NO, absolutely not. This is a common viewpoint … ‘The world’ starts at LAX and ends at NYC. Actually, almost the entire world uses IALA A, that ‘funny’ European system. Okay, IALA B is north and south America, the Philippines, Korea and Japan, areas with heavy US presence, but excepting that, THE ENTIRE WORLD uses IALA A … which is probably why it’s designated ‘A’ … and the ‘second scheme’ is known as ‘B’. So it’s not ‘different in Europe’, it’s ‘different in the US’! And why does the US use red cones/green cans? Folk lore says it was an attempt to confuse the British during the War of Independence so that the Brit might get confused and run aground, but no doubt 100 people will shout this reason down as the final A/B agreement wasn’t until 1980 … but that’s different to what might have started the switch, principally of lateral mark colors
Great video
One of the best videos I’ve seen. Good job!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
GREAT MEMORY AID, the 7-up can.
comprehensive explananation.
Most countries use green to starboard and red to port when entering a harbour
That depends on system that country belongs to, IALA A or B. IALA A is used by countries in Africa, most of Asia, Australia, Europe and India. IALA B is used by countries in North, Central and South America, Japan, Korea and the Philippines.
A very insightful video
Perfect example of explain it to me like im 5 years old lol
This was so helpful
Glad you found it resourceful. If there are other topics you’d like to see a video on, I’d love to hear about them.
VERY informative !!
Hold up I thought the green ones are the tree shaped ones....
@ 15:15 I think that the Se means Southeast not Sea Guide light...
Thank you!
Having problems understanding the preferred channel system. Are you saying that the green on top for cool kid island is preferred so you keep the ISLAND on the left? That means you go RIGHT doesn’t it? Or, are you also having to consider the something else, like the lateral channel markers??
You're correct. Treating the preferred channel marker like a green lateral channel marker (its top color and preference indicator in this case) would mean leaving it to port as you "return from sea," which would also require altering course to starboard in this example.
@@capt_scott_souders Thanks for the reply.
Why is there a different bouy for the reef than for the rocks?
It's not that the buoys identify the different hazards but rather different sides of the channel. The danger below could be anything that could potentially ground a boat. My goal in showing both reef and rock in this video was simply to express some variety.
@@capt_scott_souders ok. I just wonder why they would use two different shaped bouys to signal what is effectively the same thing. An underwater hazard. I’m trying to learn all this stuff but it’s crazy confusing. Seems like some signs could be made a lot easier to understand. Like the ICW signs with the yellow triangles or squares. They could literally put signs that say ICW SOUTH AHEAD or OCEAN LEFT or HARBOR RIGHT. Etc. Lol. Still working my way through the video. Thanks BYW.
@@AV8R_1 It is definitely challenging and even a little more so when you're on the water. Navigation aids are often provided in an "everything you need" manner, which rarely is the exhaustive "everything we want" when identifying hazards.
I can't speak on behalf of the US Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, or the inventor of navigation aids but, I have always believed that lateral markers have been given distinctive shapes in order to accommodate color-blind mariners. Those who can't identify Red from Green could effectively use bouy shape in order to determine the left and right sides of the channel. While I don't know that this is specifically the case, it does help me to rationalize the end product.
Thanks Again.
IALA A or B ? Europe is opposite
Correct! This video best fits those boating in North, Central, and South America (IALA-B). IALA-A would be opposite,
green right returning.
Just thought of something today while being told Red Right Returning… Red Left Leaving? Did anyone use that before ?
I think that's an original. If it works for you, by all means use it!
Good but worst choice of words, “tip of the iceberg”. Haha
Yanks lol
navionics APP sucks very hard to use, to much control of my smartphone which i have NO control of. !!!!!!!!!! NOT a GOOD APPP! VERY UNHAPPPY U ARE PROMOTING THIS! IVE UNSUBSCRIDED AND BLOCKED UR SITE
Get a marine GPS/depth finder. Navionics works great with it.
Great video
