Question 236Navigation General

The correct answer is A. A daymark used to mark a channel junction when the preferred channel is to starboard will have the shape indicated by the letter A in illustration D045NG. This is because the shape of the daymark (a triangular dayboard with the point down) indicates that the preferred channel is to the right, or starboard side, of the marker when traveling inbound from sea. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the shape of a daymark marking a preferred starboard channel. Choices B, C, and D depict different daymark shapes used for other navigational purposes.
