The company METEO CONSULT, founded in 1988, is a private meteorological research office which has its own IT resources and a team of experienced meteorologists to develop its forecasts. In 2008, METEO CONSULT-La Chaîne Météo joined the Figaro group. To complete its offering, METEO CONSULT bought the Bloc Marine in 2011 and created the digital portal figaronastronomie.com in spring 2012. This weather assistance intervenes on 3 axes: Race direction: the meteorologists develop the most precise forecasts possible in order to transmit them to the race direction. Navigators: the shortest route is rarely the fastest. To win, each skipper must play flawlessly with the weather situations which are constantly changing. He must therefore choose his option based on the reliable and precise information that he can download from the marine.meteoconsult.fr site. Media and general public: METEO CONSULT makes itself available to the media and the general public to explain the forecasts and decipher the strategies chosen by the skippers.
