Boat builder here. Bow and stern are easy to remember. But port and starboard confuse many new guys. So here’s the tip. The word “port” and “left” have the same number of letters. Remember that to identify port is left of the vessel.

Just think how simple it would all be if everyone just said : front, back, left and right. Already common words in everyday language. What’s the point of unique vocabulary? Get the younger guys on it and will be P, S, A, and G. Turn P, more P. All my gear is in G.
