Predict Wind, just six months old, is offering cruising sailors a 30% lifetime discount if you take up the offer by the 15th January. The weather forecast system has been widely accepted and used by the international racing community, but while the feedback from cruising sailors is excellent, the cruising community has yet to take it up in big numbers percentage-wise.

The PredictWind weather model is run on a 1 km resolution grid where many other weather models use a 60 km resolution grid. What this means for the sailor is that the higher resolution results in more accurate wind weather forecasts.

Before you depart, you can log in onshore and get the followint:

** Hour by hour daily predictions of wind strength and direction for your selected locations in either text or graphical format.

** Local maps overlaid with a one square kilometre grid showing pictorial representations of wind strength and direction in hourly steps for one day ahead.

** Regional maps overlaid with an eight square kilometre grid showing pictorial representations of wind strength and direction in three hourly steps for five days ahead.

** Offshore maps overlaid with a sixty square kilometre grid showing pictorial representations of wind strength and direction in three hourly steps for five days ahead.

In addition, you can get the forecasts grib-style, and sent to you by email on your sailmail or satellite system while you are at sea. If you're coastal cruising, you can get text forecasts updated every hour for your local area on your mobile telephone, and also graphic forecasts on the more sophisticated phones.

Trying for the best accuracy, the company uses two separate weather models to produce to alternative forecasts for comparison.

You can try it for free to see if you like it, then take the new discount offer by the 15th January. You'll pay between $95 and $295 a year, depending on which of the packages you choose.

This introductory offer only applies to yearly subscriptions. Consecutively yearly subscriptions will continue to get the 30% discount.
