SailSim

Research and development involving atmospheric and oceanic models during last years have made possible great amounts of meteorological information that can be applied to sailing world. Meteosim takes advantge of more than 10 years of experience in Numerical weather prediction to create professional and recreative sailing-oriented tools. Meteosim offers many products and services based on atmospheric modelling that has been used in competitions such as the America's Cup, the Volvo Ocean Race, and the TP52 Medcup circuit.
All Meteosim sailing products are together in the website: http://sail.meteosim.com

Weather forecast for regattas

Sailing oriented tools have been used in the America’s Cup ’07 and other professional regattas around the world.

Numerical weather prediction applied to sailing

Atmospheric and oceanic models can be executed at different resolutions and run lengths, from short to long term. Meteorological events from low pressure areas around 2000 km diameter to local sea breezes can be forecasted. Meteosim has real-time access to safe and reliable source of global meteorological data (models and observations). All these data allows run operationally high-resolution models adapted to the needs of individual or team competitors.

Meteosim has developed several products and services adressed to the sailing and seamanship world: from a single weather bulletin for a sailing boat to the most sophisticated decision making tool for a prestart of an America's Cup race.

Our experience of more than 10 years of research in mesoscale atmospheric and oceanic models is now applied to the world of professional sailing to meet specific needs of each customer.

We remark the following products and services:

  • Official suppliers of weather information for regatta committees and organisations.
  • High resolution GRIBS for any region of the earth with global or mesoscale models.
  • Research and development tools in tactical decision making (America's Cup, Volvo Ocean Race).
  • Development of optimal routing tools - RouteSim.
  • Climatological wind studies for hull designs.
  • Meteosim brings together all sailing services on the following website: http://sail.meteosim.com
