- Novice sailors studying RYA Day Skipper theory
- Worth noticing
- The course map uses solid lines for live waypoints and dashed lines for modules still being built.
Field notes
Each module pairs a short narrated film with an exam-style quiz, while knot animations can be paused, replayed, and slowed down. The simulators offer monohull or catamaran handling by keyboard or touch, and the course map uses dashed waypoints for material still being built. Later chartwork lessons use a fictional chart; the site states that its theory training does not replace practical instruction on the water.
