This is the fifth in a series of videos describing the roles of crewmembers aboard the BMW ORACLE America's Cup Racing Yacht. In this episode we ride along on the weather boat with team meteorologist, Chris Bedford. Chris heads the weather team, receiving updates from other team weather boats and weather buoys strung out along the race course. Chris analyzes the data then relays it o the strategist aboard the race boat. There the Afterguard combines the weather analysis with other information to determine the best racing strategy for current conditions.
