Welcome to Flip Cards - a proven Self Instruction Learning System for Mariners.
Flip Cards is a system of learning using playing card sized cards that has been developed over more than 30 years to be the most effective, simple, method of learning and checking knowledge of maritime systems, codes and rules.
Each card shows the symbol or has a question on the face, with the answer on the back.
Invaluable for yachtsmen (especially those taking the excellent RYA Yachtmaster, Day Skipper and Competent Crews courses), students, navy cadets and professional seamen who are studying for a qualification or who wish to increase their understanding of sailing and marine procedures.
The cards are printed on high quality art board with rounded corners and are packed in attractive transparent PVC wallets. Each pack is easily carried in the pocket or handbag so that study can be made wherever the user finds convenient.
This pack of Flip Cards illustrates the signals made by ships at sea, and covers lights, fog signals and the usual distress and search and rescue signals. They differ from the Lights and Shapes cards in that they show signals rather than navigation signs. The meaning is shown on the back of the card as usual.
There are 47 cards in the pack.
