How StandOn works
Practise. Recall. Repeat.
Choose a topic
Focus on the area you want to practise.
Answer from memory
Test what you can genuinely recall without relying on prompts or notes.
Repeat until it sticks
Return to difficult areas and build confidence through repetition.
Why recall matters
Recognising the answer isn't enough. You need to recall it.
Onboard training and assessment often requires sailors to recall information without notes or multiple-choice answers in front of them.
Our free sailing revision resources explain the knowledge behind it.
StandOn is designed to help you move from
“I think I know this.”
to
“I know this.”
Practise anywhere
Use spare minutes to keep important knowledge fresh.
Practise from memory
Test recall rather than simply rereading information.
Build confidence
Repeat the areas you find difficult until the answer feels natural.
Accuracy matters
We take errors seriously.
StandOn is designed as a revision aid, so we take errors seriously. Our material is checked against current authoritative sources and reviewed regularly. If you believe we've got something wrong, email us. We'll investigate it, correct genuine errors and publish meaningful corrections.
