The CD and MP3 Versions are both high quality, professional audio recordings of the Merchant Shipping (Distress Signals & Prevention of Collisions) Regulations 1972 with Amendments Adopted from November 2003. The recording includes rules 1 to 37 and annexes II & IV.

The Collisionregs CD MP3 is purely an audio transcription of the rules.

They have been designed with repetition based learning techniques in mind, that is, by listening to the CD over and over again, gradually one will start to learn the content, in much the same way as people pick up the lyrics to songs having listened to them on the radio, or in nightclubs etc.

It is also possible for the mind to learn to some extent, by subliminal learning, for example by having the CD playing in the background or even whilst asleep! However, repetition is the key.

The CD was produced by Deck Officer, Chris Barrows, when he was approaching the end of his cadet training with his MCA Orals looming over the horizon.

Chris explains "There are certain rules which one is expected to know verbatim and some suggest we should know them all parrot fashion. I, like many others, found it rather boring, struggling to learn them in a conventional fashion. I decided a recording of the rules would be a very useful tool to help commit them to memory."
To this end, each rule has been recorded as a separate track, so as to be able to take advantage of the repeat functions found on most CD players.
"I actually learnt rule 19 whilst driving up the M1 motorway on my way back to college!" recalls Chris

The Rules are narrated by Fran Richards
