Everybody has missed a golden opportunity to suggest to Roberto that he take
a boating course. Anybody who has should know the answer to this question -

Dunno if a boating course would necessarily help - the CPS Boating
Course manual barely mentions system A and B, without explaining the
differences. When I taught the Aids to Nav section, I did mention the
alternate system, and that the colours were reversed (but shapes are
the same), but other instructors may not mention it at all.

(but a Boating Course is a Good Thing anyway...)
