Insufficient Wind Forcasts?
Hi;
I am getting a message as follows: "Unable to continue, due to insufficient wind forecasts" when I try to get my route. I use Saildocs as my weather and have my start time as "Now". The box I make for weather is larger than my route.
Thank you in advance for you input/help.

Ron,
Make sure you ask for and get a long enough forecast for your race.
Also you can try:
Settings > Optimal Routing > Data Options > Extend Wind in time

I was looking for the optimal route from Bermuda to Newport, and I put in 10 days to be safe. But I still got the same result.

Re: Insufficient Wind Forcasts?
I am using Saildocs, all models. It worked before when I was plotting St. Maarten to Newport. But I must be doing something wrong. I am a TOTAL rookie with Expedition. I'll try Saildocs but only with GFS.

Re: Insufficient Wind Forcasts?
from the WX Tab look at the Wind Models and scroll down the date and times to make sure you're getting what you expected
