Bermuda 2018

I’ve raced to Bermuda 6 times and each time we’ve had Jenifer and her charts with us. If there was ever a year to have “The Queen of the Stream” on board, 2018 was the year to do so. With so many features to the stream, especially south of the stream, it was incredibly helpful to have Jenifer’s charts and expertise. There were a number of very fine features and by and large, pretty darn close to where they were plotted by Jenifer. We were able to fine tune our way by carefully watching temp changes, speed through weather vs GPS speed and also by looking for clouds. A great help. Also of great value were her charts and analysis leading up to the race. It helped us define our strategy early on and then overlay wind/weather as race day approached. I have also found that many of the publicly available Gulf Stream resources are no longer available which makes Jenifer’s analysis all the more valuable.

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.
