Note: Expedition does not warrant that use of grib or other files from any of these sources are allowed in any particular yacht race. Some of these services cannot be used during racing as they are not freely available. Note that some races, such as the Transpac, require the data to be freely available all year round. Saildocs for example was designed to satisfy Transpac race requirements.
