How should you pass bifurcation buoys to stay in the main channel?

Pass on the side with the green top band
Pass on the side with the red top band
Always pass on the left
Always pass on the right

The correct answer is: Pass on the side with the green top band

When passing bifurcation buoys, it is important to be aware of the color coding of the buoys. The green top band indicates the preferred channel, which is the main channel. Passing on the side with the green top band ensures that you stay in the main channel and avoid any potential hazards. Passing on the side with the red top band or always passing on the left or right may lead you into a secondary channel with less depth and potentially dangerous conditions. It is also important to note that the color coding of navigation aids can vary depending on location, so it is best to consult a navigation chart for specific information.
