What they say about the Interactive Series:

"We recommend these CDs for interactive learning...overall this is one of the best we’ve seen" Sailing Today

“If you want to learn the ropes as a beginner or with an RYA course, it's ideal...it makes learning fun and interesting” Yachting Monthly

“The CD is user friendly, with clear and concise text...quizzes test how much you have learned” Practical Boat Owner

"It really is a fantastic piece of software that is a must for anyone who wants to get into sailing" .TV buyers guide

"A delightful interactive program that will be of benefit to would be sailors young and old. It takes each subject in turn and produces a simple and easy to understand explanation. It will make a superb training aid for those about to embark on the basic RYA dinghy sailing course. It will also benefit those already on the course with its uncomplicated explanation on tides and weather patterns etc. A very good interactive instructional package with first class graphics". Review, Sea Cadets, Bill Woodfield

"This has full, up-to-date and well-presented coverage of the syllabus, including new areas in GPS and chartplotter usage. There is an extensive use of mnemonics and other prompts to help memorise information. Dave found the COLREGs section particularly good, starting with a video, which covers all the basics, backed up with clear animation and flashcards. The quiz features helpful 'explain' buttons for wrongly answered questions."

"Emma used this software as a revision aid while doing her Day Skipper shorebased course earlier this year, and fully recommends it. The CD covers the entire course syllabus, and she found the videos particularly useful, explaining manoeuvres which she had struggled to understand with textbooks. The quiz gave her a good indication of how close she was to passing her exams. Simon liked the commentary accompanying some of and found the animation clear and well presented". 4 Stars, Yachting Monthly 2004

What customers say about the Interactive Series:

Last year I purchased your Competent Crew and Day Skipper CD's, having some "point and go" lake sailing experience, but no navigational understanding whatsoever.

I registered on an evening class to build up to the RYA exam and I am pleased to say that I have found both CD's to be absolutely brilliant in supporting the course and ideal for clarifying many issues which I struggled with in the class room. I can unreservedly recommend both CD's to anyone, the visual impact and logical progression is a massive aide to learning, understanding and remembering the many aspects involved.

Hopefully I will pass the RYA Theory Day Skipper Certificate and then take the Practical during the summer.

I am now looking at VHF certificate and YachtMaster Coastal theory courses...Steve Lennie, UK

PS. My two young children have also "played" with the CD's and as a result have developed in both their understanding and interest in the theory side of sailing....a good omen for the future!
