Nautical terminology is PRECISE, and for very good reasons. You don't want to be in the middle of a gale and ask for the round thingamagig on the right side, to pull or something. That is why you use starboard instead of right. Starboard is the right when looking at the bow. "To the right" on a boat can mean your right, my right, etc.
