SeaCards Nautical Flash Cards
The Certification Edition was designed with the help of leading sailing
schools and award winning instructors. Divided into three color-coded sections,
this volume of nautical flash cards is a serious tool for mastering a wide
spectrum of sailing and boating knowledge. With over 450 cards, the color-coding
allows sailors to study those areas that are most helpful. The first two
sections cover general sailing terms and safety and they are designed to help
students pass their exams – (flashcards have long been proven to be an effective
memory tool). The advanced section (over half the deck) is very broad and will
test even “old salts” and professionals. This is truly a set of cards for
everyone and theyÂ’re also great for cockpit quiz sessions.
On one side of each card is a symbol, picture, or saying, and on the other side,
an explanation of what the front of the card refers to and its implications.
Categories from basic to advanced include: nautical terms, sailing commands,
gear and equipment, rules of the road, safety procedures, immediate action
drills, checklists, USCG requirements, navigation rules/lights, buoyage and
navigation aids, MOB (Man Over Board) COLREGS, mnemonics, weather tips, warning
signals, knots and more! The first two sections review the written material that
needs to be mastered for Basic Keel Boat 101 and Basic Coastal Cruising 103, the
third section covers many areas necessary in order to obtain a captains license.
