Sign Up Now for Forecast Services for the 2025 Bermuda 1-2 Race
Each yacht will receive individual briefings for each leg with materials provided by email and discussion through telephone and/or videoconference. This is NOT an auditorium style briefing with large numbers of people in attendance, but rather a very individualized service designed to allow the skipper and crew to get as much detailed information about the weather pattern as possible, including levels of uncertainty and possible alternate evolutions of the pattern, and to get specific advice on race strategy tailored to the performance expectations of each individual yacht. The ability to ask questions of the meteorologist is a key component of all briefings.
Briefings will be scheduled as follows:
FIRST LEG (outbound):
Wednesday afternoon/evening June 4th: Preliminary briefing featuring an overview of the weather pattern, discussion of expected winds and seas in a general fashion, and a preliminary set of weather maps. Altimetry data showing the Gulf Stream will also be included.
Thursday June 5th Detailed briefing featuring an in depth discussion of the weather pattern, possible variations which may arise in the pattern, detailed forecasts of winds and seas, and a complete set of weather maps. Routing and strategy suggestions will be provided.
Friday morning June 6th: Final briefing to go over any changes in the outlook and/or strategy.
SECOND LEG (return):
Tuesday afternoon/evening June 17th: Preliminary briefing featuring an overview of the weather pattern, discussion of expected winds and seas in a general fashion, and a preliminary set of weather maps. Altimetry data showing the Gulf Stream will also be included.
Wednesday June 18th: Detailed briefing featuring an in depth discussion of the weather pattern, possible variations which may arise in the pattern, detailed forecasts of winds and seas, and a complete set of weather maps. Routing and strategy suggestions will be provided.
