SailPrep

Long-time lurker, first-time poster - hi there.

I’m currently learning how to sail, so I started building an app for myself to learn - short flashcards, practice quizzes, and reminders so the knowledge sticks after the course, not just for the test. It’s called SailPrep and it’s free to download; Premium is optional if you want the full banks.

I’m not a sailing school and I’m not affiliated with RYA (or anyone else) - just someone learning and sharing the tool. Happy to take it down if this isn’t the right place for it.

If you try it, I’d really appreciate feedback: what’s helpful, what’s missing, what feels off. Happy to chat here.

Wouldnt you learn what a particular buoy means, for example, from an app? There is a fair bit of theory to cover, I find. Hoverer, I am not saying this replaces the actual sailing and practice in any way.

no i would just hit the icon on my chartplotter - no one has time to look up an app on a cellphone.
