We find that sailing clubs and teams are using weather station information in two main areas:

• Recreational - A number of club sailors have to commute to the marina or harbour. It is useful to know the actual real-time weather before jumping in the car to make the trip. WindTalkers can provide real-time weather information and local tidal details, allowing sailing club members to determine if it's suitable weather for sailing.
• Competition - To get the competitive edge during race weekends, a number of teams record the tide direction along with the wind strength and direction for about 2 hours before every race. The wind tends to oscillate and it is useful to know the pattern along with the tide direction before the race starts. Traditionally, this information is manually charted and passed on to the team at the race area by the support boat. Our WindTalker platform allows this information to be charted in a variety of ways to best display the localised weather patterns. All this real-time information can then be viewed directly on a mobile phone.

As we build-up the historical weather information for a given area, our weather station web site allow sailors to check for reoccurring weather patterns - trend analysis. If you have a specific weather station requirement, give us a call today.

Note much effort goes into ensuring the wind and weather information supplied is completely accurate, however there is no guarantee that it is correct. You should use your own judgement when deciding if it is safe to sail.
