FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PassageWeather.com – introducing an innovative new (free) weather website for sailors

Palma de Mallorca, Spain - 6 February 2008 - After two years of development and beta testing, PassageWeather.com is now officially online and “ready for prime time”.  PassageWeather.com is a new weather website “for sailors and adventurers”, consisting of 7-day sailing forecasts for all the oceans and seas of the world, updated 4 times a day.

“We’ve taken all the vital weather information that sailors want, including wind speed and direction, surface pressure, wave height and direction, sea surface temperature, etc, and packaged it all into a very intuitive, fast, and easy-to-use format” says Bill Reilly of PassageWeather.com.

And all this information is available (for free) for everywhere you would possibly be sailing, with the same “look and feel” for all regions.  These regions range from full ocean overviews (North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, etc.) down to more detailed sub-regions (South Florida, Windward Islands, etc.).  There are also special forecasts for the major ocean races, such as the Newport Bermuda Race, Fastnet Race, Transpac, Sydney Hobart, etc.

They’ve recently added a very detailed 5-day Gulf Stream forecast, something that will prove invaluable to navigators preparing for this spring’s Newport Bermuda Race.

“I know that there are many good weather sites on the Internet, but they mostly deal with one particular part of the world. Our site covers everywhere, so there’s no need to search through dozens of weather sites to get you where you’re going”, Reilly points out.

About PassageWeather.com:

PassageWeather.com was developed out of the need for reliable, easy to use weather information and forecasts to help sailors with their passage planning and weather routing.  Both before and during deliveries, ocean races, regattas, cruises and all other types of offshore passages, PassageWeather.com has your whole route covered.
