The Windwise course was fantastic, I really appreciated how it was broken down to use the mechanics of wind to your advantage. Chelsea is incredibly knowledgeable and explained different wind tactics and scenarios in a way that was easy to grasp and immediately useful. I especially appreciated how much emphasis they put on practical strategies for racing — not just what to do, but why it works. After the class, I felt like I had a major edge on the water, with a much better understanding of reading shifts, learning how to read clouds, and making smarter tactical decisions related to thermals.

Chelsea has a way of explaining complex topics so that everyone can understand and apply the information. She does this with any topic, even those with variables and infinite parameters, which is why we have been able to successfully use her methods in all our sailing - both offshore and buoy racing. The amazing part is that it all works! From sea breeze setup, to convergent shores, to thermal plumes - learn her methods and apply them, and you will be amazed how much your sailing improves.

The class was fantastic. The material was really well explained and left me wanting a lot more information. I do think because of the level of detail it was more relevant for race courses with legs that are 2 plus miles long. I found it thoroughly enjoyable.
