"As a navigator for offshore regattas, I need more than just a forecast; I need a competitive edge. Squid Mobile provides the same high-resolution models and routing engine used in the Vendée Globe. The ability to overlay GFS and ECMWF data with my boat's polars has transformed our race strategy. It is, quite simply, the most professional weather tool available for iOS."
"We rely on Squid for all our blue-water deliveries. When you are 500 miles offshore, bandwidth is precious. Squid’s optimization for Iridium GO! is a lifesaver, allowing us to download lightweight GRIB files and update our routing without draining our data. It’s intuitive, reliable, and provides the peace of mind every solo sailor needs when facing unpredictable conditions."
