2. No Warranty of Accuracy
Weather patterns are inherently unpredictable. While our engine uses high-resolution data from NOAA GFS, RTOFS, and tidal harmonic models, we provide no guarantee regarding:
- The accuracy of the forecasted wind, wave, or current conditions.
- The safety of the suggested route.
- The compatibility of the route with your specific vessel's condition or crew's skill level.
3. Assumption of Risk
Sailing is an inherently dangerous activity. By using this service, you acknowledge that:
- The Skipper's Responsibility: The Master or Skipper of the vessel maintains sole and absolute responsibility for the safety of the vessel, its crew, and its passengers at all times.
