Starboard and Port – When facing forward towards the bow of the boat, the
starboard side is on the right and the port side is on the left.

Starboard Tack – when the wind is striking the starboard side of the boat,
the boat is on a "starboard tack", and has right-of-way over any "port
tack" boat. When the right of way is in doubt, the starboard boat should
hail and warn the port tack boat.

Port Tack – When the wind is striking the port side of the boat, the boat
is on a "port tack" and must give way to any boat on a starboard tack
which is approaching.

Tacking (to tack) – the maneuver involving changing direction from one
tack to another when sailing upwind. The boat changes tacks the moment her
bow passes head to wind.
