Red Right Returning

[C Masone]

Is this not the rule in Italy?

I have always heard that in Europe they use the opposite of our red/green rule.
Some research is needed....

A snide aside: maybe Capt Hazelwood (sp) has a distant relative!

There's IALA alpha, and IALA bravo. The US is bravo: red right returning. Most of the rest of the world is alpha, which is the opposite.

Hopefully you're becoming aware of this before sailing across the Atlantic and running aground pulling into port....?

There are several categories of bouys and markers. I believe it is only the lateral bouys and markers that reverse between Region A and Region B; the green and red bouys/markers.

correct, only the lateral markers.
