              SEA-HO    OFF CAPE HATTERAS
Most of the vessels who use Herb's service range in size from 35 to 45 feet. They are sailed by families, serious cruisers and even some adventurers, of all nationalities. They want to enjoy for extended periods tropical climates, participate in blue water  Yacht races or just see the world from their maritime mobile base.

Over the years, as the service became more established and  recognized, the range of vessels using the service broadened. End  users now included larger ocean sailing/racing yachts, fishing vessels, research vessels, luxury motor yachts, merchant vessels including tugs, container ships, carships, oil tankers, mobile oil rigs, salvage vessels, and the occasional commercial aircraft, Cruise ship, Coast Guard  Cutter and Navy Warship.

The service has also been a recognized source for obtaining fleet and individual weather reports for organized yacht racing events and   cruises, such as the Newport-Bermuda Yacht Races, the Marion-Bermuda Yacht Races, the ARC, the Caribbean 1500, the Annapolis -Bermuda Race, the Daytona -Bermuda Races, the Marblehead- Halifax Race and other Atlantic and World Ocean cup/racing events, including the MiniTransat, the Whitbread, BOC, Alone Around The World Race, and the Tall Ship's 2000 event .

At times and on special request Herb will provide coverage for vessels sailing the South Pacific to New Zealand and Australia, then on to the Indian Ocean and back to the North Atlantic, via the Mediterranean Sea or the South Atlantic, using E-mail/Inmarsat.
