I am no native english speaker, but I always assumed it was port and not larboard. I didn't even find larboard in my japanese dictionary to be honest.
The worst part is how close starboard and larboard are. If they at least used PORT it'd be easier. Or we could just be like the Japanese players and get: Leftboard and Rightboard.
