FLASHCARDS
We produced this very well known learning aid for New Zealand conditions, with the Boatmaster syllabus in view. The 84 cards each have a graphic on one side posing a seamanship question, with the answer on the other. The cards specifically cover lights and shapes, rules for avoiding collision, buoyage, chartwork and symbols, "Mayday", and common knots. The packaging is a permanent, document safe and cold proof, clear plastic wallet.

A CURRENT CHARTSee also the Hydrographic page.
Class tutors generally use a current chart of the locality for practice in plotting, chart symbol identification and passage planning. It makes sense to start off your Boatmaster course with an accurate, up-to-date chart of the locality where you are most likely to start your boating.

THE WORK BOOK FOR BOATMASTERS, Five Boating Voyages set at Boatmaster Standard.By Lynne Richardson and Tim Ridge. Card-back, 300 mm X 210 mm (A4), 50 pages, monochrome tables, charts and drawings.
This has been written for students, and also has a market with boaties seeking to improve or revise their nautical know-how outside the classroom. It consists of five "voyages", in different parts of New Zealand. Difficulty progresses from a simple day outing in Wellington Harbour for voyage one, to a complex seven days yachting in the Bay of Islands in voyage 5.
A weather map, tides, an A3 chartlet, and boat and people details are given for each voyage. Answers are provided and a score chart.

THE NEW ZEALAND BOATMASTER CERTIFICATE COURSE.By Coastguard boating Education. Card-back, 300 mm X 210 mm (A4), 100 pages, monochrome drawings. Brochures provided in an end-page wallet.
This is a comprehensive classroom manual designed to be used with the course texts - Safety in Small Craft and Rules of the Road at Sea. Perhaps a little misleadingly it is not a stand-alone Boatmaster programme as the title may infer. It is intended as a classrooom notebook complete with homework.
It is divided into chapters, each for a topic in the course syllabus, having supplementary explanations and a bank of questions. In particular the chartwork is fully explained since this was apparently felt to be covered in inadequately in the course text books. The Coastguard Boatmaster sample paper is supplied at the back of the book.
