1. Define the plan
Choose an anchorage or build a route with departure time, speed, waypoints, and vessel context.
The platform
Forecasts become useful when they meet the vessel and the plan.
Vector Weather combines forecast conditions with route timing, vessel limits, tide, terrain, hydrography, fetch, shelter, and anchoring physics so captains can examine a specific decision.
How it works
Context, not another weather icon.
2. Gather conditions
Bring together numerical forecasts, official marine guidance, observations, waves, tide, and local geography.
3. Apply physics
Evaluate exposure, fetch, scope, loads, swing, route legs, timing, and vessel-specific thresholds.
4. Keep judgment visible
Show assumptions, sources, uncertainty, and alternatives so the skipper remains the decision-maker.
What it does
- Connects weather to a route or anchorage.
- Evaluates changing conditions over time.
- Adds vessel, terrain, tide, shelter, and exposure context.
- Surfaces alternatives before a decision becomes urgent.
What it does not do
- It does not replace official forecasts or navigation products.
- It cannot observe every local hazard or actual sea condition.
- It does not certify that a route or anchorage is safe.
- The captain remains responsible for every operating decision.
