From the intense, split-second decisions of the America’s Cup to the long-range strategy of offshore ocean racing, the world of sailing meteorology demands precision, preparation, and adaptability.
In the America’s Cup, forecasting is focused on a narrow 15-minute weather window in a single location. Ocean racing, by contrast, requires predicting conditions across vast distances and over several days at sea. The challenges may be vastly different, yet the foundations of preparation remain remarkably similar.
Through stories spanning Bermuda, the South Atlantic, and the Sydney Hobart, join us as Jessica Sweeney shares some of the most challenging moments of her career as a sailing meteorologist and navigator — along with practical insights and lessons learned from racing at the highest level.
