Helensburgh Sailing Club

Our new weather station is operational. See the Weather and Webcams link on the Club Sailing, Training. and Sailability pages. Click on the square icon to access the detail.

Note that, once in the detail, there is a Settings gearwheel where you can set your preferred units - e.g. windspeed in knots - and these are saved for you. Unfortunately we haven't yet fully discovered how to modify the settings for the "headline" data showing in the square icon ... work-in-progress!

Thanks and "well done" to Tim Flatman.
