Clearpoint Weather software offers software based weather forecasting and analysis for both racing sailors and bluewater passagemakers.
Clearwater's subscription service pulls data from online and presents it on a Windows PC using Clearwater's proprietary software. Based on the level of subscription selected, the sailor subscriber gets data on weather information including Winds, Waves, Fronts, Satellite, Point Forecasts, Bulletins, Currents, Air Temperature, Sea Temperature, Clouds, Precipitation, Visibility, Sea Ice, Lightning, Tropical Storms, Chlorophyll, Bathymetry, Altimetry, Wind 1nm Resolution, Wind 5nm Resolution, and Wind 15nm Resolution.
A low bandwidth option allows sailors with limited access to download the information necessary in only 30 kilobytes.
ClearPoint High Definition Weather software can be downloaded at no charge from http://www.clearpointweather.com over any Internet connection and run on any laptop, tablet, or other Windows 2000 or later PC-based electronic/maritime display devices.
Clearpoint feeds real-time updates to the device via an online connection; all applications are integrated onto a single, user-friendly screen.
ClearPoint’s service works with almost any communications link, including satellite connections such as Iridium, Globalstar and Inmarsat.
A racing package is optimized for sailboat racers seeking an advantage by being better able to take advantage of weather fronts. A passagemaker version is aimed at sailboat cruisers looking to make a fast, safe passage.
