Ambrosiniv Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 6 minutes ago, wiskerke said: Day beacon. IALA dictionary. wim Thanks Wim. I had a look at the links but I still could not identify the specific meaning of this particular beacon. I guess I won't be navigating those waters anytime soon anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) A day beacon is a beacon or buoy without lights. This is a lateral beacon or lateral mark: you keep it to your side. It's not a buoy because it's on land. But the equivalent would be a green buoy. More wiki. For colloquial (if there are any) names, I cannot help you as I'm not a native speaker. If it follows the use over here (Holland) it's just called a beacon by most people. But other possibilities could be: a post or a mark, or as you said: a marker. The best thing is to check AoA to see if clients actually are using any of the terms and if the term returns anything looking like your own image. (But that goes for any image/search term.) wim Edited August 10, 2018 by wiskerke weird typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) There would have been another one the other side of the channel so it was marked at high tide. As Wim says, green on the right, red on the left, from seaward. Presumably it was painted green on the seaward side. Although I don't know why it should be painted yellow on the landward side Edited August 10, 2018 by spacecadet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Allsopp Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Beats me. There is another matching one right up against the wall slightly to the left of this view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The RYA states, regarding anchoring to be aware... Posts ashore with yellow top marks, often indicate the entry point for a cable or pipeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
