    “Left” and “Port” both have four letters. “Right” and “Starboard” both have more than four letters. That’s how you remember them.

      Boats used to have their steering paddle out on the right because most people were right handed. When you pulled into port, you didn’t want your steering rod to hit the port so port side was the left. That’s how I remember.
