I think you meant "hard a starboard" but perhaps "hard to starboard"
would be clearer.

I agree that "astarboard" looks a bit weird, (and spellchecker doesn't
like it at all), but according to a couple of nautical dictionaries I
keep on hand "aport" and "astarboard" are the correct spellings. I'll
consider changing it.
