Predict Wind to Sponsor Moth Worlds 2010

Monday 14^th September 2009 Organizers are pleased to announce a new partnership with PredictWind, specialists in worldwide wind forecasts. PredictWind will sponsor the entire competitive fleet with Professional Wind Forecasts, providing a unique set of tools allowing competitors to pre-empt weather conditions for the Dubai area.

PredictWind combines sophisticated wind prediction technology with local topography maps to generate the highest resolution marine forecast available for over 20,000 locations around the world. The forecasts can be viewed in Map, Graph, & Table formats, including a text format which is accessible from most mobile phones.

Used by the first and second place winners of the 2009 Etchell World Championships, PredictWind is fast becoming the choice of expert sailors from around the world. As Simon Cunnington confirms: “In the lead up to 2009 Etchell Worlds we sought a more localised and concise form of weather forecast and we decided on PredictWind after an initial test period. The 1km weather model downloads were a daily part of our race preparation, and we found the accuracy of the text files invaluable, you are not bombarded with excessive information and have clear options to help with race strategy for that day."

Competitors will receive passwords and instructions allowing complete access to PredictWinds forecasting website. For more information on PredictWind please visit www.predictwind.com
