Anyone who is responsible for a vessel, from the smallest dinghy to an ocean going freighter, must be able to recognize other vessels around them by day or night, whatever the visibility. They need to be able to quickly interpret what other vessels are doing, who has right of way and what action they should take to prevent a possible collision. This is not always easy, especially along crowded rivers, narrow channels, in harbors or in poor visibility.

I’m out boating on our inland waterways or lakes most weekends, and I’ll be keeping this on my iPhone in the cockpit. Very useful for reference and learning. Looks good too.

This is a rip off, nothing but a come on to get you to buy more. It is less than a table of contents for all the rules with a few rules stuck in to make it legal, then an add for more to buy. First app I got without any reviews. Never again
