Have you ever tried to work out what the weather forecast means for your boat? Have you ever been caught unexpectedly in dangerous conditions on open waters? Trying to work this out isn’t easy! That’s why Deckee has built the Open Water Risk Forecast. It takes into account a variety of weather data factors and combines it with your boat length to assess the risk and make your decision to go boating easier. Conditions can vary dramatically on open waters, and a couple of feet in boat length can be the difference between a smooth or dangerous journey. Simply adjust your watercraft length (it’s easy to switch between metres and feet) and DECKEE will show you a personalised Risk Forecast for any open waters location. Click the title to try it out!
