Module 13 - Meteorology
Day Skipper revision outcome
Use Weather and the Sailor as an applied Day Skipper decision, not just a definition list. The course outcome is that a beginner skipper can recognise the situation, choose a defensible action, and explain the check that supports it.
A paid revision product needs to build exam recall and cockpit judgement at the same time. Work this module by saying the cue, the risk, the calculation or rule if there is one, and the skipper action you would take before moving on.
What tells me this is a Weather and the Sailor problem?
Why it matters: Stops keyword guessing and forces context.
Which rule, calculation, symbol, or procedure changes my decision?
Why it matters: Turns memory into a skipper action.
What chart, almanac, forecast, instrument, or crew factor could change the answer?
Why it matters: Builds margin and avoids brittle exam-only recall.
What would I do now, and what would make me delay or stop?
Why it matters: Connects the course to safe Day Skipper judgement.
