❓ FAQs

What is the difference between Weather Confidence for Cruisers and the Full Weather Course?

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

🗣️ What Others Say

“This is exactly what we needed to get going.” R Andrews

“This is so real and relatable.” D Moore

👀 Want a Deeper, Offline Weather Reference?

If you like having something you can read quietly, revisit later, or keep on board, there’s an optional printed weather manual available when you enrol.

It expands on the ideas in the videos with clearer explanations, worked examples, and real cruising context — designed to help the knowledge settle over time.

It’s completely optional and not required to complete the course.

Lifetime access. Instant confidence.
