Weather & Routing Fundamentals

Weather knowledge and understanding is a fundamental part of any sailing expedition. While there are many great resources for weather data and forecasts, knowing how to interpret the data to help you make informed decisions using expert weather knowledge is what routing is all about. Rick Miller is a lifelong professional mariner who currently teaches at Maine Maritime Academy, and sails as Master for Sea Education Association. Chelsea is a degreed meteorologist and lifelong sailor who has ‘tied the knot’ between the science of weather and the strategy of sailboat racing. She’s the meteorologist for the US Sailing Team, and has a variety of racing experience from one design dinghies to navigating keelboats offshore. Chelsea is the founder of SeaTactics, delivering expert weather knowledge to racers who want to elevate their sailing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
