For any people interested in using weather products while following the race, here are some samples I am using as the yachts cross the equator, as well as the gradient wind analysis from Australia. 

I have included the symbols page as a handy reference. It is also interesting just how many different ways are being used to represent the information. Perhaps we have educated too many website programmers? The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has changed it’s homepage yet again, is it easier to use? For general public maybe?
