There are handy calculators for quickly estimating a course to steer, interpolating tidal stream data, calculating times and heights of tide at secondary ports, and estimating VHF radio transmission ranges. The in-depth reference section includes dozens of illustrated and detailed how-to guides covering:

• Plotting a Course to Steer
• Calculating Leeway
• Calculating Set and Drift
• Compass Deviation and Magnetic Variation
• Estimated Positions
• Interpolating Tidal Streams
• Calculating Depth to Anchor
• Bridge Clearances

• Buoyage and Beacons
• Safety and Distress
• VHF Radio
• Weather and Shipping Forecasts
• and Many More!

For those who need to brush up on their knowledge of the COLREGs / IRPCS, load up the flashcards for a quick quiz. Included with the app are a set of “Rules of the Road” flashcards covering numerous collision scenarios. Additional flashcards covering vessel lights, day shapes, flags and sound signals are available to purchase in-app as a single add-on pack.

For the racing community there's a handy race timer with a 5,4,1,0 countdown and lap timer.

Also available are instructional animations illustrating how to tie a number of the most common nautical knots. Each knot is accompanied by a brief description outlining suitable applications. The Bowline Knot is included with the main application, with other knots available to purchase in-app as a bundled add-on.

Sailing Reference Pros

✓ Concise and clarity in presentationFinally an app for yacht master course with all the essentials. Simple graphics and calculations. Thanks please continue developing this app..Happy 2b happyVersion: 1.3.5

✓ Great AppThis is a really good app with everything in one place. Can I suggest adding a “dipping distance” calculator and a “tidal height” calculator - ladder type display. I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to add in and it would be very useful. Also if you could save a set of data for secondary port calculations it would be beneficial - it would mean that as tho g change you do t have to input everything again..BootsyBondVersion: 2.0.6
