SAILING WEATHER COURSES AT WEATHER SCHOOL
Click here to return to the main Weather School page and for course dates
Our sailing weather courses are designed to enhance the weather knowledge of all sailors, from the novice to those with many years experience.

See what previous delegates thought of Weather School here.

The objective of the courses is to go beyond the information given in the RYA syllabus and bring weather to life for all sailors.

You will be shown how to produce your own forecasts using information available on land, and at sea. We look at the clouds, weather charts and other clues in order to build up a picture of current conditions and develop an understanding of likely future events.

Details of the courses are shown below, scroll down for details and to book

SAILING WEATHER (PART 2)
PRACTICAL FORECASTING FOR SAILORS

(full day course, 9.30am to 4pm)

Making the weather work

Who is it for?
A practical, hands on course suitable for those sailors who want to advance their weather knowledge, a get their weather hands dirty!

Why should I attend Part 1 first?
A good level of weather knowledge is assumed and so I strongly strongly recommend attending Part 1 first as topics covered in Part 1 are expected to be understood on this course. These include why and where highs and low form, the physics of the atmosphere, forecasting the movement of fronts, airmass theory and prediction, interaction of upper air and surface weather systems. If you do not have a good weather knowledge before attending Part 2 you might feel left behind.

What topics are covered?
This course is hands-on, with many practical examples of planning a sailing trip through various conditions, and making predictions based o the available information Q & A session (time permitting).

By the end of the course
You should be able to confidently use various internet services to forecast the weather, be able to interpret and use satellite and radar data and be able to integrate additional information (such as personal observations, internet and media forecasts) into your own decision making process.

What is included?
Lectures, lunch and refreshements through the day are all included
