Featuring more than 100 illustrations, Start Sailing Yachts provides at-a-glance information on a range of subjects including the parts of a boat, crewing skills, basic navigation and safety at sea.

Start Sailing Yachts will help you get started and develop new skills.

There are seven main sections in the app:

QUIZ SECTION - Test your knowledge and aid your learning

Whether preparing for a holiday afloat, or a short break with friends, it helps to know some of the basics before you go. If you are new to sailing, then having some knowledge before you join a yacht will make the trip much more enjoyable, however confident or fast a learner you may be.

Start Sailing Yachts will also help those who might lack confidence aboard a sailing boat and feel it best to remain a passenger and let others crew the boat. This app will guide them through what is involved and help them discover that the rewards from going sailing are about taking part.
