Let customers speak for us
from 3 reviewsVery useful to bring pilotage and COL regs to life. I use the model boat afloat to help with practical teaching of maneuverers.
Very Happy with my set.
Great tool to carry in my life jacket pocket to use on the water when explaining how to anchor. They come in brilliantly for the ‘types of anchor’ part of PB2 as well as other things.
I use this when teaching the night ex of advanced powerboat and intermediate powerboat when giving advice on returning at night.
Great tool to demo the previously discussed flash patterns of buoys and the random selection is great for a quiz. 🙂
Design to Production
We don't just pull models off the Internet, we spend time designing tools that work in the real world, that provide key visual elements for your students. We spend the time making sure that the investment you make in your training aids pays off in client satisfaction.
Take our Buoy Light Simulator for example...
Development
A germ of an idea takes shape, code is written and tested. Low voltage lights checked for cadence and reliability.
Testing
Creation of several prototype designs, ensuring that the finish is durable and the placements of buttons and screen work for users.
Production
After feedback from instructors who have been field testing the prototypes, tweaks are made and the final model is ready to go.
