The information on this website is a careful choice of meteorological sources available through the internet. A selection made by experienced sailors and professional meteorologists with only one goal: to help both cruising and regatta sailors to make their own decisions.
As with every selection, also this one focuses on the outlines. Most users of this website will not even notice that some details are left out. They sail far from land, cross the Atlantic or use the information for long term planning.
Others however will benefit from more detailed weather information. They like to have a reliable forecast for an inshore regatta, daily weather messages for a three week holiday trip along the coast or they might want to know if their anchorage is still protected in 5 days.
Finding answers for those questions on the internet is not as easy as it seams. You have to know where to find the information but also what you are looking for. Otherwise you can easily get lost in the enormous supply that combines useful and irrelevant weather information without much specification.
If that is your problem and your not in the position to hire your private weather consultant, Sailing Weather Online might have an interesting solution. This is how it looks:
· Go to this page of our website and specify the event for which you require weather information.
The input enables us to judge what information is essential for your trip, race or regatta.
· We make a selection of sources from our database and inform you what information we can offer, which part is essential and what you could add, based on your personal preference.
· The selected information will be made available on a password protected webpage.
· You can consult that page as often as you like on moments that suite you best.
We will charge you a small fee for our efforts. Prizes however are no where near what weather bureaus or personal routers will demand for their services.
