Knowledge that works on a passage
Practical learning for sailors: understand the weather, check the evidence and explain your decision. Start with the independent marine-meteorology course, then apply the skills to your sailing area and passage briefing.
Practical marine meteorology
12 detailed chapters in English and Russian, 36 chapter-check questions, 18 final-test questions, practical exercises and answer explanations. From the atmosphere, fronts and waves to ocean passages, tropical cyclones and a documented skipper decision.
Read → explain → self-check → your own brief
- Read the chapter and work through its fictional example.
- Explain the practical problem in your own words.
- Take the quick check: inspect the reasons for mistakes, not only the score.
- Revisit the recommended topics and repeat the final self-check.
- Apply the method to current sources for your real passage; the skipper retains the decision.
What a test result means
It is feedback on the questions you answered, not evidence of sea experience or readiness to skipper a yacht. Important misconceptions are highlighted even with a high score. These resources are independent of IYT, RYA and ISSA: see the public-topic comparison in the competency map; no school certificate is issued here.
