*****************CUSTOMER COMMENTS*********************
Peter
Holmes
in the 2012 Newport
to
Bermuda
Race sent
the following comments to Jenifer & Dane…. “This year's Race was my first,
and how to deal with the Gulf Stream and weather routing
for the return trip
were key questions. Your assistance and help was invaluable. From the
early emails on the stream, to the Newport briefing on the day of the
Race and waypoints for catching the 100 mile meander, and to Dane's
guidance in planning the trip home....I can't thank you enough. What was
particularly important was being able to call Dane from Bermuda
on the Friday when we were being told to "get out of Dodge" in a hurry and
head home. Dane's route putting us well east of the rhumb- line helped us
tremendously compared to other boats to our west who were hit with far
worse weather. Dane's forecast was right on and we made landfall at Gay
Head and arrived back in South Dartmouth with no problems. And to be able
to call half way home on the sat phone and have Dane answer on the first
ring with some much needed re-assurance was just what the doctor ordered.”
Eric Crawford
in the 2012
Newport to Bermuda Race
said, "I have used Jenifer Clark's Gulfstream information since I started
ocean racing in 1993 and wouldn't
do a race to
Bermuda without it.
This includes being a navigator for an overall win ("Restless" 2000),
and four class wins("Restless" 1996, 2000;" Belle Aurore" 2010,2012) in
the Newport Bermuda Race."
“Your forecast in the Newport
Bermuda 2010 race was
a key factor for us winning our class in the Bermuda Race! Thank You” …
Jack Neades - USCGA
"Your
information was the only accurate information for the currents and the
anomalies in the stream. The NOAA and other data were useless during
the 2008
Newport
Race....." - Sean Byrne
Long-time Jenifer Clark’s client Pete Rebovich, navigator of Sinn Fein
used Jenifer and Dane's ocean and weather forecasts to win the 2008
Newport
to Bermuda Race.
