What are the right and left side of a sailboat called?

Answer 1

To a person standing on a ship looking forwards, the right side is called "starboard" and the left side is called "port". The term "larboard" is an archaic name for the left hand side of a ship. It was officially changed to 'port' in 1844.
The left side of a ship is referred to as the port side, and the right is the starboard side. The sides can also be referred to in reference to external factors, such as the direction of the wind...for instance, the side from which the wind is coming is the windward side, and the side away from the wind is the leeward side. Port is left, Starboard is right.
The left part of a ship when facing forward or towards the bow is Port side and right is Starboard side.
The left side of the ship is known as the port. The right side of the ship is known as the starboard.
