SUMMARY:Marine Weather Planning: A Routing Strategy (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Blend weather\, oceanography and routing strategy to prepare for coastal and offshore passages. This two-part online course gives sailors a clear framework for integrating weather forecasting into trip planning. Whether you’re a coastal cruiser or an offshore voyager\, understanding marine weather is the first—and most important—step. \nEffective weather planning is more than checking a forecast—it’s a process that starts long before you set sail. This course breaks that process down into actionable steps. You’ll learn how to shape your route using real-time data\, anticipate changes\, and manage your plan underway. \nFrom understanding GRIB files to working with weather routers and analyzing synoptic charts\, this course brings clarity to the complexity of marine weather. You’ll apply everything you learn to a real-world passage scenario from Norfolk to the USVI. \nThis online course is conducted live via Zoom over 2 evenings\, Sep 29 and Oct 1\,  from 7:30 – 9:30 pm EST by American Sailing\, and is available on-demand after the live presentation.   Register here:   Marine Weather Planning \n
