The Racing Edition is optimized for high-performance racing venues and is currently available at Valencia and Palma race venues, with up to 30 more locations to come in the near future.

ClearPoint uses proprietary software to integrate data from a variety of global sources, both public and private. Aggregated weather data comes from our partner, Weather Decision Technologies, a global leader in state-of-the-art scientific weather tools. Founded in 1999, WDT has extensive experience in world-leading weather research.

Our data is highly accurate. The High Definition Weather Edition shows you the prevailing conditions for any location in the world using the highest resolution data available.

In addition to the weather products provided in the High Definition Weather Edition, the Racing Edition provides competitive sailboat racers with high resolution wind models at 1 nm, 5 nm and 15 nm resolutions.

The system downloads data as frequently as 5 minutes, with a total of one hour frequency for all applications, as some applications download at different times and take longer to load. The forecast limit is up to 5 days for route planning purposes. The global weather system data inputs are updated every 6 hours from over hundreds of thousands of data points globally supplied by governments, military, commercial aircraft, commercial shipping, and national weather services from 180+ countries. All of this is managed primarily by the US NOAA and NASA operations via the NOAA GFS system (Global Forecasting System).
