We all know there are risks involved and that accidents can and do happen, whether you are racing across oceans or cruising in quiet coastal waters.

## Safe Skipper Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Great idea but"
Good way to organize info but need another round to enrich information as is not complete but too basic
-- ilan444, 2024-08-31

### ***** "Very functional and useful app for quick reference"
The app features different reference guides and checks/maneuvers essential to any sailboat skipper, novice or experienced. It’s always useful to have a digital reference guide to check prior to, during or after sailing. Recommend.
-- Egomaniac47, 2019-10-23

### *---- "This app is stunning in its lack of usefulness"
This app offers a few paragraphs in total. The screenshots cover most of the book. Typical chapter is one paragraph of overview.
I write technical books for a living and could have written this app in one hour.
-- Hanson24, 2019-08-29

### ***** "Good quick reference"
Loads of practical safety info and tips, prep, equipment, comms. Worth checking out.
