I notice the WRF (1/12 degs) feeds for the Irish Sea are out of date - only showing data from March.  Any chance these can be refreshed throughout the Round Ireland Race.  June 20 - 27.  And ideally extended geographically  for the entire course!

 

I spent a while playing with it last night. Interesting visuals and useful data. The process for pulling data from Expedition is very straightforward. Ill try it for some race analysis after the season starts next week.

I've seen the same issue but with the UKV model.  It seems it is not deleting the existing files even though the checkbox has been marked to do it.  The result is that in the wind models drop down you end up with really old data, cluttering up the list.  See the two UM_UKV files below.

But I'll mention another similarly small challenge that I've experienced for well over a year.  When using Exp to download gribs with the "Clear old grib files" option selected, all old models get replaced properly except for the Mercator model.  For some reason Exp doesn't do the Mercator replacement so when I look in "Settings" "Weather Data" after a model refresh I ALWAYS have both the new and the old Mercator grib.  It doesn't happen with any other grib, only Mercator.  Very small issue in the grand scheme of things, but I figured I'd report it.  

Simon, well done on getting the Pebble app working but I wonder if you have seen the new RaceData tools from Campbell Field?  They provide similar or better functinality in a more flexible environment, prebuilt and supported.  It runs on Android and Apple devices, providing the opportunity for everyone onboard to choose the data they want to see.
I think there is very little enthusiasm for the pebble and Ventus approach, that's why I moved it to the Archive

Thanks for putting this together, I for one find it very useful. All navigators will bring their own personal experience and preferences to rating weather models, but to start with these guidlines is definintely of value
