  Wind and Weather Resources

 

Sailors are interested in wind and weather conditions. Our sailing plans are always subject to these factors. Since none of us can control these two important elements we try to utilize the best weather forecasts we can find to help us make our plans and prepare accordingly.

 

Of course, sometimes the forecast turns out to be wrong and what we were anticipating to greet us on the water is totally the opposite of what “they” said it would be. We also learn from experience that the wind on Greer’s Ferry Lake many times, has a mind of its own. Wind direction and speed can vary significantly depending where you’re at on the water.

 

With that said, here are a few good resources to check when your thinking of going to the lake and taking the boat out for a day of sailing.

Cleon Challenge

Looking for something to do (a mission to focus on) sometime when you are out on the water?  Rather than just cruise around, why not take the "Cleon Challenge"?  

The GFLYC has long had a standing “race” set up to challenge sailors to get the best out of their boats.

It a simple three island circuit course that you can sail either on your own (single-handed) or with a crew.  There’s no committee boat, no horns, bells, flags or whistles. Just you, your boat and a desire to “give it a shot”.
