Weather Confidence for Cruisers is a shorter, practical foundation course focused on core skills such as reading weather maps, understanding wind and clouds, interpreting forecasts, and using tools like the barometer and VHF reports.
The full weather course includes all of the Weather Confidence content and then goes much deeper into marine weather systems, including synoptic charts, pressure systems, fronts, cyclones, line squalls, storm surge, and regional patterns.
If you want the complete learning path, the full course already includes the short course. If you prefer to start gently, Weather Confidence is a good standalone introduction.
Don’t forget we have a selection of manuals too – including Weather for Mariners
