Product Description
SeaCards 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 great for cockpit quiz sessions.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.What the experts say:Captain Tom Landers: USCG Master Captain, Founder of the Virginia School of Sailing:Four time recipient of the American Sailing Associations School of the Year award and four time winner of the prestigious Instructor of the Year award.Here is what he says:The Certification Edition of SeaCards is impressively comprehensive and well researched. Sailing instructors will find that students using SeaCards will come to class better prepared without feeling overwhelmed. If you have been sailing for awhile but are not sure what you know or you are on the path toward your Captains license - SeaCards is just what you need to advance your knowledge. SeaCards should be in every sailing library, but keep them on the boat, SeaCards are fun! The sailing industry has needed a product like this for a long time.

good nautical review March 29, 2008
I found SeaCards to be an ideal way to review my knowledge of sailing where ever I go. They are small enough that I took them on vacation with me. One feature of the cards is that they are divided into three sections, basic, intermediate and advance so one can study the cards without getting overwhelmed. SeaCards are a good way to study or refresh your memory about sailing.

Old salts and beginners alike will find this product full of information about boats, rules, regulations, and sailing.Set in flash card format with the question on the front and answer on the back. great as a quiz item when your all sitting around waiting for your next adventure, or just as a constant review of procedures this is a must item. I use it and love it, and when friends want to know more about sailing I pull the cards out and it becomes a game of how much they know. Sincerely, it the best learning tool I've seen in a long time. 5 stars or more.
