Your last chance to win the ultimate prize: a 12-month PredictWind Professional subscription and DataHub®, the ultimate GPS tracker and smart device. - Closes Sunday March 8 (NZT)

Founded in 2010 by Jon Bilger, PredictWind has been delivering the highest resolution wind and marine forecasts, once reserved for top professional sailors, to over one million users worldwide for a decade and a half.

Over the years, PredictWind has stayed at the forefront of marine weather forecasts. The technology is constantly evolving, with 2025 breakthroughs including innovative sail crossover charts, the launch of world-first AI-powered Extreme Weather Alerts, a revamped GPS tracking experience, and global weather suite expansion, including the debut of the PWAi AI-powered model.

The prize package offers access to PredictWind's premium features and enhanced connectivity by combining a Professional package with the DataHub®, a powerful smart device packed with features that will make tracking your inshore and offshore GPS, data and communications onboard your vessel easier than ever.

The Professional subscription unlocks premium forecasting features like 1km resolution GRIB files, wave modelling, and high-resolution tidal currents. The DataHub® elevates the experience by unlocking advanced technology like AI Polars offering real-time sailing data to create optimised 5D polar diagrams, enhancing weather routing accuracy, and Over the Horizon AIS (OHA) which extends AIS visibility up to 300 nautical miles, providing early warnings of approaching vessels.

Taking peace of mind, safety, and connectivity to the next level, the DataHub automatically logs and shares your vessel's position, speed, and real-time weather data with friends and family (even when tracking offline). Users can also monitor vessel data remotely over the internet (wind, depth, GPS position, and AIS targets), view their boat's position and weather through PredictWind's Anchor Alert App, and utilise Offshore Messaging (PredictMail) for efficient communication while offshore. Users can also download and report whale sightings through the smart device, and view them on their chartplotter or in navigation apps.
