V—Weather Routing of Sailing Ships
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2009
Extract
If sailing vessels are to return to the oceans to carry freight, then, because of different hull and sail characteristics, the climatological routes will have to be re-assessed, probably by means of computer methods. Weather routing techniques for assisting a sailing vessel to follow the safest and most economic route across an area where barometric depressions are dominant will have to become more refined, and updated and transmitted by radio more frequently than is the case at present.
