What the pictures mean · Puck

Calm under 5 kt — not enough to sail.
Light 5–10 kt — full main and jib, gentle; ideal for learning.
Cruisy 11–16 kt — a working breeze; the boat's happy zone (Force 4).
Fresh 17–21 kt — put the reef in; youth crews ashore (Force 5).
Reefed 22–27 kt — reefed, experienced crews only — the edge (Force 6).
Over the limit 28–35 kt — beyond the Puck's limit; don't launch.
Stay ashore 36+ kt — far too windy.

These levels follow the Puck's CE Category D limits — the boat is designed for sheltered water up to Force 4. For a young or light crew, play it safer — reef earlier and come in sooner. Full wind limits & reefing →

Why so stable? the Puck heels very little even at Force 5 and is unsinkable — keep it flat, reef early, and head in if it builds. New to the boat? What is a Puck?

Tap the buttons up top to switch: Easy shows a simple picture; Pro a compass rose and wind barb (how to read it →); Puck shows the boat in today's conditions with reefing guidance for the Pucks sailed here.

Where's this from?

The reading is the real on-water anemometer at the Jamboree Marina — Górki Zachodnie (NCŻ), the sailing centre at the river mouth. If that's quiet, it falls back to the modelled wind at the Marina Błotnik point (marked modelled). The badge under the reading tells you which.

We keep the wind direction simple — one of eight main points: North, North-East, East, South-East, South, South-West, West and North-West.

The time shows when the station last reported — treat it as a live snapshot, and always look at the water too.

Wind from the on-water widget at Górki Zachodnie (Holfuy #1441), with the Open-Meteo marina model as a fallback. Always check conditions on the water before you sail.
