Power boating section is new and has great modules, always love your systems, weather, navigation, ATONS, comms and safety modules. The charting is great that it can be managed on a pdf. Nice modules on anchoring, maneuvering and using spring lines properly. Nice to see tides, both curves and rule of 10ths. Also bridge clearance. It is SLC after all. Modern content with some classical principals. Nice work on waves and swell.

"By the time we chartered, I felt prepared instead of just approved. That made all the difference."
Alex, preparing for bareboat charter

"NauticEd helped me see boating as a skill I could build, not something I had to pass or fail."
