What do starboard-hand buoys mark?

  1. The left side of a danger

  2. Safe water

  3. The right side of a channel

  4. Swimming areas

The correct answer is: The right side of a channel

Starboard-hand buoys are used to mark the right side of a channel. Buoys used for navigation purposes are often red and green, with the red buoys indicating the right-hand side of the channel when boating into the open sea or proceeding upstream, while green always marks the left side of the channel (when facing upstream). Option A is incorrect because red buoys mark the right side of the channel, not the left side of a danger. Option D is incorrect because swimming areas are often marked with buoys that are a different color or shape. Option B is incorrect because safe water is typically marked with white or yellow buoys, not red buoys like starboard-hand buoys.
