More about your Coach:

Chelsea is a meteorologist and sailor who provides weather knowledge to captains and other sailors, allowing them to make better decisions.

Being on the water so often herself, Chelsea understands the importance of not just forecasting the weather, but educating mariners about how weather phenomena works, and how to capitalize on it.

Chelsea has worked with mariners ranging from offshore oil and gas companies, retired cruisers leisurely sailing around the world, to high-performance racing teams. Including, most notably, the US Olympic Sailing Team.

In addition to her years forecasting marine weather, Chelsea is also a lifelong sailor who has sailed across the Pacific, raced in various distance and day races, and is passionate about protecting our environment and oceans.
