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.
These cards show the view forward from the deck of various vessels (power, sailing and fishing) of developing traffic situations at sea. In each case the mariner has to decide the correct course of action to navigate his vessel through the hazard. The reverse of the card gives the proper course and also quotes the relevant collision rule.
There are 50 cards in the pack.
