How did you get on?
Did you manage to get all the characteristics without looking them up?
If you said that you were looking at an IALA ‘A’ preferred channel to Stbd buoy, a good start.
| Preferred channel to Starboard buoy | Description |
| Colour | Red with one broad green horizontal band |
| Shape of buoy | Cylindrical (can) Pillar or spar |
| Top mark (if any) | Single red Cylinder (can) |
| Light (when fitted) | Red |
| Rhythm | Composite group flashing (2 +1) |
If you managed to write down all those characteristics without looking them up, very well done.
