Helm Pass

Croatian boat licence, category B

Prepare for the exam the way it really is.

The exam is oral, in front of a board, with a chart task and knots. Helm Pass practises exactly that: the question as the board asks it, you answer out loud, reveal what a good answer holds and mark whether you knew it.
