PredictWind is fast becoming the choice of expert sailors worldwide. As Navigator Marc Lagasse confirms, 'I have been using the PredictWind's 1km High Resolution model since it's inception. I have no problem recommending it to any serious sailor as I find it extremely reliable and accurate. The fact that you get two models for comparison, allows you to make calls with confidence.

PredictWind's 1km Model seems to be unusually accurate with regards to the geographical features of any venue. An update email and the fact the PredictWind interfaces seamlessly with Expedition Tactical Software has the added benefit of always having the latest weather data right there on your display.

Highly recommended!'
