A thumbs up for Starlink RV which we have just installed. Mounted in a modified fishing rod holder in a winch socket it was up and running in minutes with 100 mbs download speeds. Cost effective too.

Many thanks again Simon,

I guess as I’m still prepping my boat, it would make sense to review, after everything else is ready, especially as I already have my minimal communication via my satellite YB tracker.

As things stand the PredictWind IridiumGo sounds like the most appealing weather routing, but the PassageWeather with 1020 pressure bar routing is seems to be the most cost effective.

Would you be able to share your view on using the YB tracker comms to receive weather consultancy messages?

Grateful for your help and feedback,

Best wishes,

Sonia,
I’m a great fan of the PredictWind/ IridiumGO combination which works brilliantly for weather, email and routing. We have used it for bringing in ice charts and satellite photos too. It also provides tracking and offshore AIS with their new data hub. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the Yellow Brick system and so I can’t make an accurate comparison.

Many thanks again Simon,

Unless Starlink makes any substantial changes, I will go with my PredictWind option.

Best wishes,
