Professional Satellite Oceanographer Jenifer Clark and professional Meteorologist Dane Clark, both with over 38 years supporting the marine community, invite mariners to take advantage of their real-time ocean charts and weather forecasts for sailboat racing, boat deliveries, ocean cruising, and offshore fishing. Using infrared imagery, satellite altimetry data, and surface isotherm data, oceanographic analyses are produced and available for the Gulf Stream area and all the major currents of the world. Waypoints are also provided for taking advantage of favorable currents and for avoiding unfavorable ones.

Hi Jenifer, You may have noticed we did really well on the Bermuda 1-2 leg 2 on Cordelia!

We went pretty far west, similar to the route you recommended. I wanted to steer well clear of that cold eddy sitting on the rhumb line at 36N. This seemed to have the added benefit that we seem to have caught some favorable current earlier from that warm eddy around 34N. We jumped out to a pretty good lead over the other boats in our class pretty early, and I think they all got hammered by that cold eddy.

I also think we hit the Gulf Stream at a pretty good spot, with good winds that we could muscle through and not get set too far east.

We ended up a bit east of the RL and there was a period of about 10 hours of little to no wind that last 24 hours, but everybody got hit by that.

We ended up 1st in class DH, 1st in class combined, and 2nd in fleet combined PHRF.

Thanks for the good info!

Jenifer Clark’s Gulfstream

Website Designed by

Jenifer Clark’s Gulfstream produces standard ocean and weather charts and forecasts (from a purely science viewpoint) and produces waypoints as general guidance to the mariner indicating where favorable ocean currents are located. Each participant and crew understands and agrees that the decision to sail, start, select a course, or continue with a sailing race or voyage rests entirely with that boats skipper and crew, that sailing, particularly in an ocean, is an inherently risky venture and that no assurances are being made as to the safety of the event or trip as to the conditions that may be encountered, the seaworthiness or condition of any participants boat, the decisions made by each skipper and crew, or any other matter of any kind that could relate to the safety of each person participating and the property thereof. Therefore, each person participating in these type events assumes all risk and responsibility of participating and sailing, and to the fullest extent allowed by law, equity or admiralty, releases, forever discharges and forever waives each and every claim that each person may have or come to have, whether known or unknown, against Jenifer Clark’s Gulfstream (JCG) including Dane and Jenifer Clark, from any and all claims, suits, or causes of action of any kind, however denominated, whether sounding in law, equity or admiralty, arising out of or relating to the event.
