TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE: BUOYAGE

Understanding maritime buoyage is one of the core topics covered in RYA Powerboat and Jetski training. Whether you're preparing for your RYA Powerboat Level 2, studying for your PWC Proficiency, or just curious about what those red and green marks in the water actually mean — this quiz is for you. The IALA buoyage system is used across UK and European waters, and knowing how to read buoys correctly is essential for safe navigation. At New Wave Training — Poole's leading RYA Training Centre — we cover buoyage as part of all our on-water courses. See how you score, then come and learn the rest with us out on the water.
