Dawn Riley, CEO AREVA Challenge '07, 4 Americas Cups, 2 Whitbread Round-the-World Races "ClearPoint gives sailboat racers what they need. It's like having an expert weather team at your fingertips, brought to you over the Internet. Now all sailing and boating enthusiasts will share the ability to make informed weather decisions based on accurate, real-time, location-specific data, anywhere they sail. It's like having a whole weather team in your laptop." |

Ben Ainslie, 2-Times Olympic Champion "The weather is vital to the strategy and tactics and getting the right result, so any weather program which can give you more accurate, up-to-date information, more concise and something you can rely on is going to make a huge difference to any racing sailor." |

Ken Read, Rolex Yachtsman of the Year "With something like the ClearPoint system boaters get information real-time in order to.. if you are in a race to tactically get around your guy ... or if you are cruising or doing deliveries or just in order to be safe... Just this last summer we had three severe weather situations in which we had to use real-time weather on board to get through some really nasty stuff" |

Jim Durden, Amateur Racer "I noticed the ease of use in terms of the format, the graphics. It's easy to understand. It was really great seeing this thing in real-time, because we had a lot of weird weather coming through and you could see it progress on the screen... it was absolutely awesome." |

Tony Bessinger, Sailing World “Our initial reaction is that ClearPoint's High Definition Weather Edition seems like a great timesaver, and looks to be a worthy weapon for any navigator's or tactician's quiver.” |
