Master vs Maritime Master

Master-Nav is a progressive COLREGS learning system developed by a Master Mariner. The COLREGS are notoriously difficult to learn and retain — Master-Nav makes it significantly easier through an interactive system built around how your brain actually works. Instead of guessing through random question banks, Master-Nav guides you step by step through every rule from start to finish. Wrong answers are revisited until the rules stick — properly. Complex regulations are broken down into learnable chunks — bite-sized sections supported by mnemonics, memory aids and interactive visuals designed around how the brain actually retains information. Every incorrect answer is shown graphically alongside the correct one — immediately clear, no confusion. And with a single tap, the relevant COLREGS rule is accessible from any question at any time. Master-Nav covers COLREGS Parts A to D — General, Steering & Sailing, Lights & Shapes and Sound & Light Signals — plus Annex IV Distress Signals. Over 1000 questions in multiple formats, with a dedicated Practice Section that tracks right, wrong and unanswered so you always know where to focus. COLREGS — the easy way.

Maritime Master – Skipper is a learning companion for seamanship and small-craft navigation. It explains core concepts with interactive diagrams and clear calculators so you can practise the methods, see the effects of wind and current, and build confidence before you go afloat. Train the full workflow from plan to pilotage. Plot dead reckoning and estimated positions, add leeway, and model set and drift to understand motion over the ground. Work out a course to steer to make good a desired track, then explore how small changes in time, speed or current alter the result. A position-fixing module shows how one, two or three bearings intersect, while the compass section helps you understand deviation and compass error. Tides are presented visually to make the theory stick. Compare the Rule of Twelfths with a sine-curve model, step through time to see heights change, and review tidal streams in an easy atlas format. Passage-planning and pilotage notes turn chartwork techniques into practical checklists for entering and leaving harbour. A built-in reference library keeps key knowledge together for study: COLREGs text with buoyage, sound signals, day shapes and rules of the road; VHF channels and radio frequencies; concise emergency procedure overviews; plus meteorology essentials including the Beaufort scale, Douglas sea states, wind barbs, cloud types, weather fronts and the Coriolis effect. Calculators cover speed–time–distance, ETA, set and drift, position fixing, rhumb vs great-circle distance, true wind and comprehensive unit conversions. Training-only notice: Maritime Master – Skipper is for education, revision and simulation. It is not a substitute for official charts, publications, instruments or certified training, and must not be used for real-world navigation or operational decision-making. Always navigate using approved sources and local notices to mariners.
