  • Build a proportionate plan for a short trip and use plan, brief, check, watch and reassess as one continuing safety loop.
  • Match boat checks, personal flotation and emergency equipment to the actual vessel, people, area and trip instead of relying on one universal kit list.
  • Give a short, boat-specific briefing that lets another person move safely, perform an assigned role and raise the alarm if the skipper cannot.

A self-guided revision companion that explains essential concepts, then helps you practise and test them. It supports—but does not replace—recognised instruction, practical training, assessment or certification. Access is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
