      Many folks who use Windyty are cruising yacht sailors like myself. We use forecasts to plan our voyages and to make decisions for the safety of our crew and yacht. Windyty is a very good product that offers excellent forecasting via its two models. I have two immediate items to note

      1. Windyty is only available with an internet connection. At sea a majority of yachts do not have internet (we are well outside the range of any wifi) and thus need to rely on other forecast providers who can provide forecasts via email (downloaded and then the file uploaded into the grib software). Cruising sailors would benefit greatly from your product if Windyty can provide such service. A small fee would not be unreasonable for such a service.
      2. Lat and Long needs to have the degrees displayed. For example, Im going to the Marquesas Islands and these are difficult to locate on your map. I can however find them if I Have the degrees lat and long.

    • RE: Windyty 5.0 is here

      I really like the way its features work and understand its wind data is based on the NOAA GFS model. Please confirm. A few comments: I'd like to see and 'About' included that would provide information where the various data comes from; how often it is updated, etc. This may already be include but should be easily assessable. The other is, we are cruising sailors, travelling the seas and oceans and only have internet when within range of land and related facilitates. Could Windyty one day create a software package for installation on a Mac or PC and then have the ability to email a small file to allow remote reading of weather reports. This would be a HUGE aid to the thousands of cruising sailors.
