Clearpoint

Sailboat Racing

Compete more strategically with high-resolution displays on wind direction, speed and gusts in your precise location.

Clearpoint Advantages:

Forecasts:
Having accurate, high-resolution forecasts as well as current reports that give you wind and frontal conditions can make the difference between winning and losing a race — or even returning safely to shore. ClearPoint offers resolution as fine as one kilometer to give you the information you need to plan your way to victory on the course.
Performance:
Weather forecasting combined with routing is essential to overall sailing performance. Receiving accurate weather forecasts and reliable real-time data provides a tactical and strategic advantage on race day.
Simplicity:
ClearPoint simplifies crucial weather data so you can focus more on winning the race and less on the technology you are using. Clear, concise and feature-rich data is presented in an easy-to-decipher format which can be displayed on multiple devices.
Strategy:
As a racer, you win or lose by finding the wind and harnessing its strength in a smarter way than your competitors. Determining better angle and velocity translates into getting ahead faster. Direct and easy access to location-specific fronts, currents, high resolution winds, radar and satellite data gives you the strategic and tactical edge to finish first.
Value:
ClearPoint offers value for money. You pay as little or as much as you like with your choice of monthly or annual subscriptions. Unlike other providers, you are not locked in to expensive unecesssary plans as part of the ClearPoint package.

Keep your communications costs low while accessing the ClearPoint Weather service anytime, anywhere around the globe! Our service is priced to keep the weather data you need at your fingertips without the high monthly connection charges and airtime costs.

As a key part of every ClearPoint weather subscription, we offer a complete package of Winds, Fronts, Barometric Pressure, Ocean Currents, Satellite, Marine Zone Bulletins and Forecasts delivered to you in an optional low-bandwidth mode, so your satellite download size at sea is as little as 30 KB, taking you no more than 2 minutes on average to download the data, when using Iridium Satellite, for example.
