Following an extremely successful trial of Yellowbrick Adventure Tracking, fitting Iridium trackers to yachts sailing across the Bay of Biscay on Rally Portugal, World Cruising Club will fit tracking units to the ARC Racing and Invitation Racing Divisions this year. The previous once daily position reporting will be replaced by automatic reports at a more frequent interval, likely to be 6 hourly. This greatly enhances the experience for family and friends following the yachts who get a better feel for the real progress of the yachts racing across the Atlantic.

Atlantic Weather Forecasting
30/06/2009

During the Rally a daily weather forecast is sent to the fleet via e-mail, and relayed again over the SSB radio net. A professional meteorologist produces the forecast specifically for the fleet and gives a 24 hour forecast with a further 24 hours outlook. It is written based on a Sea Areas Map covering the route across the Atlantic and uses a number of abbreviations. Further details regarding the daily weather report and Sea Areas Map will be given at the skippers briefing prior to the start.
