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.

Dr. Richie Shulman on Captain of Temptress and the 2006 Newport to Bermuda WINNER of the Gibb's Hill  St. David's Lighthouse trophy stated:

                                                                           

"Jenifer - thank you. As always your prerace information was critical in our
success.  Your gulfstream analysis was spot on - and Nick Nicholson was
able to take your information and put us right where we were supposed to
be. The cold eddy just south of the Stream was a spectacular boost. Dane's
weather forecast also got it right. On Thursday night we were convinced
that we should go East - and after the Friday AM weather briefings we 
changed our plans and went West - that did it for us!"
