About this app

SailQuiz helps you learn sailing theory through active recall, smart review, and bite-sized quizzes. Built with spaced repetition, it adapts to your answers so you can focus on what needs more practice — from points of sail and right-of-way rules to docking, knots, weather, safety, and navigation. No internet required.

Whether you're preparing for your first time on a keelboat or brushing up before a bareboat charter, SailQuiz helps you build lasting knowledge through practice instead of passive reading.

HOW IT WORKS
• Answer quiz questions across key sailing theory topics
• Spaced repetition schedules reviews when they matter most
• Questions you struggle with appear more often
• Questions you know well gradually move further apart
• Track your mastery for every module
