Show the answer
Correct answer: d) I have a list to starboard.
Why it is correct
In IMO SMCP (section A1/1.1.4), a static inclination to one side is reported as 'I have a list to port / starboard'. Therefore, 'tengo una escora a estribor' is 'I have a list to starboard'.
Why the others are not
- a) 'Escoring' is a false friend coined from Spanish 'escora'.
- b) Mixes non-existent words ('escoring', 'portlist').
- c) 'Beiboring' is a made-up word from Spanish 'babor'.
How to work it out in the exam
- Tengo una escora a estribor = I have a list to starboard.
