Dag Pike's Essential Boating Checklists for Yachts & Motor Boats
Essential checklists for any skipper - from Passage Planning to Safety Briefing, Navigation to Safety Equipment.
On land we are all governed by a wide variety of rules and regulations that dictate almost everything you do. At sea the responsibility changes and the skipper is the one who mainly sets the rules and standards.
There is a lot for a boats skipper to think about and I am a great believer in having check lists to make sure that nothing is missed.
In this app is my selection of check lists that cover the wide range of things that the skipper has to deal with both in harbor before sailing and once at sea.
The app is very easy to use. Simply work through the items on the lists and you can be comfortable that you have covered the things that need checking before you set off.
