★★★★★

"Finally an app that actually covers the rules properly. The scenario diagrams are brilliant — I can see exactly where the boats are and work out the answer before checking."

★★★★★

"Used this to prep for my club's protest training day. The protest guide is clear and concise. Knowing the procedure gave me real confidence when a protest came up in the regatta."

🚩

Race officer · J/24 class
★★★★★

"The daily challenge keeps me honest. Five minutes every morning and I've already noticed my on-water decisions are sharper. The streak feature is addictive in the best way."
