David Houghton was a passionate meteorologist, spending over 30 years at the UK Met Office. He was a member of the Royal Meteorological Society and awarded the Society’s Michael Hunt Award for “excellence in increasing the understanding of meteorology among members of the general public, including particular groups (e.g. sailors)”. David worked as an advisor to Olympic, Admiral’s Cup, America’s Cup and Round the World sailing teams for over 30 years. Fiona Campbell is a successful meteorologist with a passion for the environment and a love of sailing. Fiona took over from David Houghton the responsibility for advising the UK’s top sailing teams at Olympic, European and World regattas, as well as GBR and other America’s Cup challenges. Fiona worked alongside weather legend David Houghton for many years.
Weather guru Fiona Campbell has updated David Houghton's original work with some great additions including more venue guides with the most popular regatta locations in the UK and plenty on the international scene too. (Andy Rice, Yachts & Yachting) It covers everything a dinghy sailor could possibly need to know about how wind and weather affect you on the race course, and the knowledge here can help put you one step ahead of the competition before the starting gun has even fired (The Final Beat); It's got a fairly simple rule of thumb which makes you look like you have a 4th sense for the weather. (Steve Cockerill, Rooster Sailing); Weather is multidimensional and rarely simple but in this book both David and Fiona expertly explain what can be a complicated subject in an easily understandable format. You will remember or learn something every time you pick up this book. I can guarantee that something you learn in this book will help you improve your racing results. Remember it all and you may no longer be the sailor in the bar explaining how 'unlucky' you were when the wind shifted against you! (Ian Walker)
