Straight from the app.

How it works

An honest start, a plan, then proof.

Find where you stand

A short diagnostic shows your real score by topic — and exactly how far you are from the line.

Drill your weak spots

Set your exam date and get a daily plan sized to the time you have left. Every answer updates one mastery dashboard.

Prove it on a mock exam

Timed mock exams until you're passing consistently. Yeah Buoy! Passed and clear.

What's inside

Trains the call, not the rule number.

The exam doesn't ask you to recite Rule 19. It asks you to read a situation — a vessel's lights at night, a whistle in fog, a contact closing on radar — and make the right call. That's what Helm Yeah practices.

Practice

Explanations that teach

Every answer comes with a plain-English why and a link to the exact rule, so it sticks.

Lights

Aspect explorer

Turn a vessel, see her lights change, and read which way she's heading — flip it to see what she sees of you, and work out who gives way.

Sounds

Hear the signals

Whistle blasts, bells and gongs played at real timing. Hear a signal and name it, or pick the right one for the situation.

Scenarios

Make the call

Crossing, head-on, overtaking, restricted visibility — who gives way, and what you do next.

Reference

The full rulebook

International and Inland side by side, plus lights, shapes & sounds cards, guides and a glossary.

Exam

Mock exams

Timed, scored against the 90% line, with every miss saved to review until you've cleared it.

Lights

Build the vessel

Given what she is, set her lights on the mast — then check your work.
