Great review of COLREGS for newbies and experienced sailors. And a good intro to how NauticEd classes work.

We used NauticEd and it was great in helping us achieve our sailing, and boating goals! We are a 26' Westerly Centaur that is preparing to cross the atlantic starting next Sunday, and will get across by the end of January.
