About SeaSmart: Rules of the Road
SeaSmart turns the Rules of the Road from dense regulation into confident recall — built by mariners, for the people who actually stand the watch. It's the study app we wanted when we were the ones standing the 0300 watch, and we hope it feels like a breath of fresh air after outdated question banks and photocopied study guides. Prepping for your OOD board? Board Mode mirrors the real thing: 25 questions, 60 seconds each, no hints, feedback withheld until the end. Mixed multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank force true recall — better to find the gaps here than in front of the board. Responsible for your crew's readiness? At Sea Testing runs proctored Rules of the Road tests with zero connectivity — no signal, no Wi-Fi, nothing. Share a code or QR, the wardroom tests on their own phones, and results come back in seconds. Monthly readiness checks, even on deployment. Facing a Coast Guard exam, or just determined to truly know the COLREGS? Drill a nonstop stream of 1,000+ hand-tended questions — every answer cites the exact rule, verbatim, with International and Inland side by side. TAKE THE CONN The Helm puts you on the bridge: live crossing, head-on, and overtaking situations where you read the contact, work the CPA, and maneuver your own ship with course and speed. Complete each mission to unlock the next and earn your stars. You don't just memorize Rule 15 — you drive it. THE WHOLE RULEBOOK IN YOUR POCKET The complete 38-rule COLREGS reference is always with you, with instant full-text search and memory aids for the rules that refuse to stick. PRACTICE ON YOUR TERMS Choose your topics, set your session length, and turn on weak-area focus so every session attacks the gaps that matter most. Bookmark the questions that trip you up and build review-only drills from them. SEE YOUR READINESS Streaks, personal bests, and a weakest-first category breakdown show exactly where you stand — and what needs another drill before the board convenes. KEY FEATURES • Board Mode: timed, exam-style 25-question drills with no feedback until the end • The Helm: interactive ship-handling missions — crossing, head-on, overtaking, and more • At Sea Testing: proctored wardroom tests that work fully offline • 1,000+ questions, every answer citing the exact rule, International and Inland side by side • Complete 38-rule COLREGS reference with fast full-text search • Adaptive practice that targets your weak spots • Fill-in-the-blank questions for true active recall • Bookmarks, streaks, personal bests, and category analytics • Night Watch themes — day, night, and low-glare red-light modes built for standing watch after dark • Make it yours: pick any of the 26 international signal flags as your app icon • Works fully offline — no signal required at sea Start with a 7-day free trial — no credit card needed.
