About Coach Rachel

Rachel Weiss started sailing at the age of 11 on Diamond Lake in Michigan. They now spend their winter months proudly sailing with the SAISA team for the Lake Eustis Sailing Center in Florida. They have raced both Club 420s and Lasers. During the summers one can find them often sailing their Sunfish NOLA-Brees or their Laser sailboat.

Rachel offers a personalized experience to everyone they mentor in sailing and works to ensure sailing is accessible and fun, regardless of past experience (or inexperience.) Training to become a certified instructor was a rigorous process to ensure that you work with a well qualified person. The process included receiving CPR certification with the American Heart Association, a ten-day online course followed by 20 hours of in person evaluation with Jane Millman. Ms. Millman works on the U.S. Sailing National Small Boat Faculty and is a Basic Sail Training director with the U.S. Navy. Rachel has also completed their Life Guard training for both pools and waterfront.
