Damn good point Mr. Curry.
I use the site I listed to pick the help pick the best day and time to go recreational sailing. The fun begins when forecasting for regattas and possibly having an advantage by knowing which way to go.
Although basic principles apply, small inland lake racing pales by comparison to being on coastal waters.
Does anyone know the title of the book by the English author regarding forecasting and sailing? Retired military weatherman wrote it for his inspiring brother who taught him to sail dinghies. Circa 1950's?
