Talk: Weather prediction methods
Join us for a talk on the weather by Brian Masters and Jonathan Clare. The talk will take place in The Fabrosa Room at The Hornet Services Sailing Club.
Brian will talk about what is 'good weather' i.e. what is suitable for sailing and motor-boating considering wind, tide, passage route, tidal gates etc. He will discuss how he plans passages and the tools he uses. He will (time permitting) try to cover the Club's approach on when we cancel rallies as an example of the role the weather plays in these decisions.
Jonathan will talk about what weather is e.g. pressure, fronts, weather effects etc. and also what he uses to determine the weather forecast.
Whether they can do all that in one hour will be the challenge!

18:00 The Hornet bar opens for drinks and meals at member's own cost
