Not thorough

Swordarm is mentioned several times in submarines books, but not defined. Belay is not mentioned or defined
Outstanding!!!

My husband and I are power boaters and have taken numerous classes towards our Captain liscense.I purchased a different App before I found this one and have deleted it because I feel it is worthless.This App has a wealth of words and their meaning which are very useful for the novice boater to the experience one.Gentle winds and calm seas to all.
Out of date dictionary.
RobertKWFL
Nearly useless as a reference because so many terms and definitions are obsolete and have little relevance to modern usage. For example, the term "spars" is defined in this app as "pieces of trees as they are cut in the wood." That definition might help a 19th century sailor, but in the 21st century, spars are the mast and boom of a sailboat and are more likely to be made of aluminum.
Could you make it more confusing?

Hard to imagine a dictionary that does such a poor job of defining terms. Not only that, too many standard terms are missing. I would not recommend bothering with this app
Douche bag app
lil john44
First word I tried to look up and they don't have it. F&@k! This app is only good for douche bags that call themselves "power boater"!
Not great
Sailwannabe
The definitions are short and poorly worded. Some contain terms that need definition themselves. For 99 cents not terrible but not great.
marginally useful app
sylvan glade
This app is seriously incomplete. Half of the time I need to go to a normal dictionary to help with a definition -- and this when reading seafaring stories. The app is not worth 99 cents. It does not deliver commenserate value. Blow-off apps like this should not be accepted by Apple.
