Left wrist strain

^^^^^. I take it you mount the boat pictured from the right side. Or should that be the Starboard side? If it's on a Starboard tack would you mount it from the Port side. I'm nautically confused.

Cheers

I learned this many years ago when an ex-girlfriends dad taught me to sail (about all I remember now is that it's like tossing hundred dollar bills down the drain while standing in a cold shower......).

Anyway, when it comes to labeling sides of the boat, short words on one side, longer words on the other:
Starboard, right, green (as in navigation lights)
Port, left, red.

Easy peasy.
