RE:   docking on port or starboard side -

Knew there was a difference but it took me a little while to figure out
which is which.

On larger yachts, the port side is considered the crew side and starboard is
for owners and guests.  Some are set up with port side access to engine room
and galley to reduce crew use of the starboard side.  May be why the Queen's
yacht was starboard side to.

Probably isn't something many of us have to worry about.
