‘...The theyr.tv weather products represent an innovative step for
the yachtsman to gain a much more detailed insight than previously
possible into the weather conditions likely to be encountered en
route. The TRANSAT is the first ocean race that has had a weather
support service of the calibre provided by theyr.tv.’
TRANSAT Press release
“As a windsurfer, surfer and a professional
windsurf board designer, reliable weather information is
very important. I have been using theyr.tv since it is online, and I
am very impressed how accurate a weather forecast can be. We are not
talking about days here, but hours. theyr.tv made my life easier. No
more waiting on the beach for wind. Those days are finally over.'
Sebastian Wenzel, (Fanatic-Windsurf board designer, Portugal)
“…I have found theyr.tv to be my tool of choice. The forecasts are accurate and are constantly updated as more recent information comes to hand. It provides you the ability to run animations of a day in question and filter on and off weather parameters that interest you. In my case primarily wind speed in a variety of units, but I can also phase in temperature, precipitation and cloud formations...”
Tim Gulland, Senior Design Engineer, Jordan Grand Prix
“I think this site has a very big importance for us pilots in france,
for two reasons, first we don't have these kind of services with the
national weather forecast (Meteofrance) or you can get them but by
paying expensive sums...second, because some of us fly around in
europe a lot, in two clicks you have all the info on theyr.tv and
its very usefull. It’s a great job....”
Tim (pilot)
“The feedback in Newport from the skippers who used the system (theyr
high resolution GRIB) was excellent and Franco Manzoli said it helped
him to win the race. The public website was also a great help in
enabling the public to follow the race and see what the competitors
would be getting next”
Martin Holden on behalf of the OSTAR Race Committee 2005/07
“Going to sea and fishing without your weather forecast was like
driving through Glasgow with your eyes closed...'
