Flip Cards is a system of learning using playing card sized cards that has been developed over more than 30 years to be the most effective, simple, method of learning and checking knowledge of maritime systems, codes and rules.

An extremely useful set of cards which makes a difficult subject much easier. Each card shows a vessel’s display of night-time navigation lights (in colour) or daytime shapes, as seen from your position. In the case of the cards showing lights the vessel’s silhouette is just discernible. The meaning is shown on the back of the cards as usual. This set has been a “best seller” for over 20 years because learning the lights and shapes is a major part of a mariner’s study and without Flip Cards it’s not easy.

Invaluable for yachtsmen (especially those taking the excellent RYA Yachtmaster, Day Skipper and Competent Crews courses), students, navy cadets and professional seamen who are studying for a qualification or who wish to increase their understanding of sailing and marine procedures.

The cards are printed on high quality art board with rounded corners and are packed in attractive transparent PVC wallets. Each pack is easily carried in the pocket or handbag so that study can be made wherever the user finds convenient.
