		Boating Definitions and Mnemonics ^Votes:0 --> Definitions and Mnemonics for Sailors and Powerboaters When one is first learning boating, there seems to be an endless confusion of terms, procedures, and rules to be memorized. Many of these are critical to safety, and over the years boaters have invented various little mnemonics to help them navigate the complexities. This Web page is a collection of such mnemonics, most time-honored, but a few invented by the author of the page ( Geoff Kuenning ) to fill in the gaps where none were available. Disclaimer: Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of these mnemonics, they are intended as memory aids, rather than as a substitute for other knowledge. In particular, the mnemonics for navigation lights and the "rules of the road" are simplifications and summaries, and th Read More Go to Site

These rules include the internationally recognized Collision Regulations, or COLREGS, as well as the US Inland Rules. Due to a lack of time to devote to the NavRules program and other considerations I have decided to make NavRules freely available to the general public. This program will run on all current versions of Windows however no guarantee is made that it will run on future versions. No updates to the program based on updates to the COLREGS are expected.
