Rules of the Road Review | Navigation Rules & Regulations Handbook Full Review 

This guy is smart and his instruction is on point seems like a good guy and knows how to help

Hello Captain! I just wanted to send you a note of thanks. When Covid first happened the MPT COURSE in SOUTH FLORIDA was put online. I did the course and epically failed. Doing the course online was a nightmare. I chose to take another two weeks of my life and go back face-to-face and take it. I watched your videos several times a day. Because of your videos and your knowledge I passed with flying colors. Simply said, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your knowledge and the videos you put online. 100 Ton Captain Jeff Gold🙏🏻

This guy is a great instructor. Low key approach, and he continually works to relate the rules to real life situations. Can't tell you how many times I've had someone stand at the lectern and just read out of the book. And he really knows/understands the rules.

just passed the test thanks to this video- much appreciated!

His name is capt Neil Smith. ..sir you r simply best ..thank u so much

I was taught for pecking order: New (Not Under Command) Reels (Restricted in Ability to Maneuver) Catch ( Constrained by Draft) Fish (Fishing vessel) So (Sailboat) Purchase (Power driven vessel) Some (Seaplane)

I passed my USCG rules of the road test in minutes because of this video. Excellent instructor. I attended a sea school in my area and the only thing I learned was that I was going to need help to pass the testing. Thank God for this guy and RU-vid. *Captain Drew.

Passed my test today in large part to you……thank you….

Best COLREG refesher video around. Watched it repeatedly while preparing for my Cox assessment. Many thanks.

Thank you Man !!! You are very good person with charisma and great way to explain!

Wow.. I've learned tonnes of knowledge. As an aspiring deck officer this Channel is a very big help.. Great💪

I’m a Chief Quartermaster in the US Navy and I love and use this video all the time. Thank you! Also where can I get that awesome sweatshirt I need that in my life!!!!!

This guy is the best!! He saved my bacon.... After eight days in a captain's class covering everything I didn't have a very good grasp of the rules. It was confusing to say the least and I've been on the water for over 35 years. I had purchased another DVD that was terrible. All it did was read the rules. Nothing to help you remember them. Anyway, with only three days left, I watched each of his videos twice and copied down his white board charts as he went along. The morning of the test, the first thing I did was write down the charts from memory. Only missed two questions in the rules and passed. Also passed the rest of the segments so working on the CPR, first aid, physical, and drug testing. Don't know who this guy is, but after watching you will see that he knows his stuff and he presents it in a way that is learnable. So I could care less what he wears and that the camera went out of focus a few times. He can polish it up later. And if he was closer than Chicagoland I would buy him several drinks!! So keep up the good work buddy! And if you're ever in SoCal let me know. I'm good for the drinks!

watching this video b4 every contract. Thank you.

This guy literally memorized the entire book 😂😂😂

He is an excellent instructor 5 stars!

I went to a great Maritime school, but this video was still one of the best study tools I found online. I watched this one several times before I took the ROR exam. I passed with a 96 on the first try.

Just wanted to thank you for posting this, I just passed my 6 pack test and used your vids countless times over the last year to help with the course. Thanks man!

This guy is a genius!

thank you for this, it's a great learning material for beginners. Greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

Over Night Rooms For Sale Plus Supper

Yeah, these videos are awesome. I’m going over these videos prior to even taking a course

THANK YOU! Cheers from Jupiter, Florida

This is a GREAT video [understatement]... the ROR test is notoriously the hardest (with a passing mark of 90%)... I watched this video over and over, supplemented by my course notes and, as a result, passed my ROR paper today at the first attempt with a score of 98% due in no small part to this excellent video... Neil, if you're ever on Long Island, look me up... I owe you a beer at the very least... extremely well laid out approach to the subject matter, brought to life wherever possible with real life examples that we can all visualize and imagine... nicely done!

Another good way (especially if you played Super Mario before) of reminding the types of vessel in the order of their priority, only that is upside down: Peach (power driven) Says (sailing) Fluffy (Fishing) Cats (Constrained) R (RAM) Nice (NUC) And don't forget to add seaplanes at the top, that's how I do it.

Great lecture, amazing teacher. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for a clear and relaxed lesson. I study as a sea captain and this was a good way to go through Colregs basics once again before an exam.

This is brilliant. Lots of fun mnemonics to remember the rules.

Still extremely good information and a great review. Passed my RoR test today thanks in part to this video

Thank you for knowing your subject. I am a retired professor and you kept your audience engaged and active. You read a little bit and then got active right away. You took us on a few interesting side trips but kept focused on the rules. So good.

Great comprehensive concise organized lecture. Thanks.

Absolutely magnificent tutorial + a great guy I am doing my Yachtmaster for sail and power boats in 2020 hats off for doin a great job ,a great guy who knows his stuff like the back of his hand , Well done and thank you buddy

Excellent Instructor.

O, overtaken N, nuc R, ram C, C B D F, fish S, sale P, power driven vessel S, seaplane W, wig O, overtaking.

You forgot "C" - Constrained by her draft Only New Reels Catch Fish So Purchase Some

Great Video I am taking my 100 ton and this is a nice review while I try to go to bed

Very Helpful specially the memory aids used for lights and sound signals

Really enjoyed this instructors style.. Thank you USCT... Reactivating my 100 ton after being gone for quite a while...

Top Notch Job! Excellent instructor Sam & Rev on Here's to Us!!

As far as how high the stern tow lights have to be when towing astern, I've never seen a tug's tow lights higher than a barge and cargo. I'm speaking mainly of RORO(ROLL ON/ROLL OFF) barges. Crowley has three decks for their larger RORO barges, and you're not able to see the stern tow lights, except when overtaking. I don't know of any part of the rules that dictate the height of stern tow lights. I also only know this from escort jobs when in or outbound with those tugs and tow. I could be wrong as far as the rules go.

Thanks for your vids! Watching them every day at the moment :-)

Only- overtaken New-NUC Reels-ram Catch-CBD Fish -fishing So-sail Purchase -power Some -seaplane Often-overtaking

It's interesting how 10 years ago it was still "cool" to catch a whole school of salmon with one net. Thanks to those guys that did it then, there's not many schools of salmon around anymore..

Im attending what I have always been told was the best school for USCG training (probably heard this because I am local to the school, who knows) called Chapman School of Seamanship and I learned 10xs more from this guy than I did in class. The way you kept me engaged and applied rules to practical situations to explain made me understand and retain it. I found the channel when studying plotting at night and didn't even know there was a segment on rules of the road so after I learned i needed to retake my rules portion of the test I watched this series and now I am 100% confident in retaking. I got a 100% on my chart plotting first try due to his teaching and now I will pass the rules no problem. If anyone is struggling with understanding anything on the USGC training I would recommend this guy over anyone else. And I cant believe he put the info on youtube for free. I wish I could donate somehow because he saved me money having to redo any classes or retake fees. Thanks for helping.

LOVELY.... you got my attention (better than my college professor handling this subject zillions of years ago...)

Awsome instructor he made things sounds toooo easy,

Liked and subscribed thanks for the video

Thanks for this video, it really assisted me during my college years in understanding the COLREGs. I also loved the words on your jacket "TALK NAUTICAL TO ME BABY."

Who is this guy!? F***** rad! I’m taking the 6 pack in April 2021 So glad I found this guy Thanks Wisconsin teacher guy Thanks to him I’ll be well prepared when I go to take the two week course

Thank you for your U tube video's they helped me with my test, and I enjoy watching them again to just keep the information fresh in my head!

Very helpful video, now that I'm on my way being a deck cadet. I learned this in class but forgot it easily, after seeing this video I recalled everything. Good job.

Thanks Captain. Your explanation is so clear and understandable. 🙏

Of all the ones to remember, the mine clearing vessel will always be one I remember,lol

Got my rules test coming up. Thank you for the review!!

I just got another for red right returning. Will be home by Christmas because your green is with marker red amd green and red for christmas

I've been studying for my Master up to 45m for my AMSA orals in Australia, I have found your videos to be so helpful with my learning, you have an amazing teaching ability and I wanted to say thank you! I understand so much more after your videos.

I thought that a vessel constrained by draught was next in the hierarchy under R.A.M. and above Fishing ? You wrote it out to the side...

Can't thank you enough for giving away all of this information for free. It has certainly taken a lot of pressure off from my upcoming classes.

I believe the 180 light would glow enough on the water on a strobe pattern would be sèen enough astern from glow on water to be noticed astern of a vessel just an idea

I enjoy this instructors style of teaching. Personable, clear and concise.

Absolutely the best review on RU-vid. Love your teaching style.

amazing video, way better than learning through a book

Are you still operating somewhere. I wish to get a week of private lessons to be prepared for my exam.ready to reach you from Italy to anywhere….ciaoooo

Dear Captain! Thanks and Love from Bangladesh 💙 You teach me the ror in a magnificent way! May Allah Bless you and your family!

Watching this was great revision for things I'd mainly forgotten. Wish I'd had a tutor like this when I did my nav courses. Thank you!

Seriously this is a good teacher, but the material is deadly....there has to be a better way of doing things in 2017.

I don't see what is so inappropriate about his jacket.. He is doing an outstanding job, about we start seing things for what they are. Roger, if this your real name, you should add a photo to your profile.

Does this still apply today in a state like Florida where I am?? Great teacher btw just wondering if tow info or ray signs are part of the exams down here since I never see them

Thank you sir...

This video make me think about the joke/true story about a royal navy vessel and irish each telling each other to get out of the way.

Thanks for the video =) You are awesome!

Great video, thanks! This combined with continuously going through the free USCG exam question database from USCG Exam Prep worked perfectly for me!

Taking my DWO test for the USCG feeling confident because of this thank you sm

He seems stoned af but is actually revising the rules good with nice supplementary information & knowledge! Nicely done :)

What is the saying for first set of letters going up n down at begging of video was hard to hear student a few times amazing video

i m an aspiring Second Mate sir ,from India , and ur lessons are very helpful to me ....... u make learning fun.

Favorite quote... "So now, we're all physicists."

thank you sir

Been helping USN Quartermasters for ever!

just wanted to say thank you for your videos, I passed steersman school at Delgado community college in New Orleans with your help, thank you sir you are a gifted teacher

Thanks a lot sir. Very helpful

Thanks for this. Hope i could pass my promotion interview

This helped me so much. I got my steersman license and I watched this video for 3 weeks straight while I was in school, it really helped me remember everything

Watched this video over 20 times

I'm sitting for my 1600 masters in a couple months and just wanted to say thank you so much for the videos! They help a lot! Very informative and educational.

I wish all that information he has could be link to my brain somehow.

do you have dec general and navigation general courses in you tube?

To the guy who made this video and so many others that I watched, I say a HUGE thank you! Your videos and way of teaching made the information much easier to understand and retain. Definitely the best instructor I’ve seen on RU-vid by far! I aced all 4 of my exams this week from my online OUPV course. You’re the man!!

quarter master training in the canadian navy thank you so much for this video!

I can't thank you enough for your videos you are the reason I passed.

Great video very informative! Do you have those rhymes written somewhere? Like..“Red over Red =Captian is dead

Thank you so much for making this. Super Helpful!

this is a great review for the ror!!! i just finished it today and using this as a study guide!!!!!!! Thank you so much

Thanks, good reviewer!

Great video .. helps my study .. thank you .!

This isn't for cars

Wish I'd seen these videos before signing up for a competitors class. These videos are fantastic. Given a mulligan, I'd enroll with US Captains. I will definitely spread the word.

does the 6 pack package license DVD really help

Damn! In India we have to learn rules 2-19 by heart, word by word. Also the annexes.. Any mistake in ROR is direct fail by the surveyors.

Thank you
