Referral's and Quotes about TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition
"While some new media products are little more than a book in electronic form, TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition is a complete guide to the RYA day skipper syllabus that makes full use of multimedia functions, including liberal use of sound, animation, video and photos.
For instance in the section on chart symbols, as well as showing a section of chart, there's a link to a video picture of Start Point lighthouse, flashing its light characteristic. In the knots section, there's a video pane (with rewind facility) for each knot. To check progress and to help assimilate progress there's a quiz on most subjects, as well as a larger one at the end of the course.
Overall
this is one of the best tuition aids of any type that we've seen."

Review of the Day Skipper Correspondence Course
"If you missed the start of night-school this winter, you
may be one of an increasing number of people looking at correspondence
courses. One of the latest is TeachMe Interactive's TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition,
a fully RYA accredited shorebased course on a CD ROM. The only
other materials you need are the RYA student pack and drawing
instruments provided when you enrol. The CD is user friendly,
with clear and concise test, still and animated diagrams, photos,
video and sound clips. Short exercises are integrated with the
text, along with quizzes to test how much you have learned and
to indicate weak spots where more study maybe needed. There's
also a useful 500 word glossary. Any time you get into difficulties
you can contact your tutor by phone, fax or email or if you prefer
the training forum on the dayskipper.com website to discuss the
matter with other students. Completed exercises are sent back
for marking and feedback, existing students prefering email for
this..." PBO, December 2001

The course itself

"What
a delight!
After struggling with the 'Complete Course' for the best part
of a year, I decided to try 'TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition'. Why had
I waited so long? (Probably because I'm stupid!) It's like a breath
of fresh air, it's like I've been peering through the fog and
suddenly it's cleared. The CD is easy to use, easy to navigate,
and all the information is there, just waiting for you to discover
it, I find the video clips particularly helpful. At last I can
work towards getting my certificate, instead of just dreaming
about it. Thank you TeachMe Interactive."

find it hard to keep up or make all the dates, this CD is ideal
for me to catch up at home or in my lunch break...it's so easy
to use too, thank god!".

"I tried both the Longbow course on CD ROM and yours at
stands at the London Boatshow, I decided to buy TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition
even though it was more expensive because it was easier to use,
I enjoyed the videos and it was more comprehensive"

"What a great help for a Shorebased Instructor,
this is long overdue! My students can really get to grips with
Tides and the other problem subjects, using this program for their
extra study. I wish I had had this 20 years ago"

"I wish I had known about TeachMe to SAIL - Day Skipper Edition
six weeks ago when I bought the Longbow course - I would have
waited until yours was available and saved £50. Having compared
them I decided to buy yours even though I already had the Longbow
CD"

"I
am at competent crew level and I will be taking my day skipper
practical in March, however I find it hard to find the time for
both theory and practical. I purchased The Complete Course but
it is not what I expected. Therefore your offer of a 30 day free
trial is very good. I look forward to receiving your disc and
subsequently purchasing it upon satisfactory trial."
