Profiles in Pro Sailing: Rozalia Project’s Rachael Miller
Rachel Miller arrived at her vacation cottage on an island in the Gulf of Maine and flew into action. Disgusted by all of the marine debris in the water and well above the tide line, Rachel spent the entire first day of her vacation doing a beach clean up. Her husband, James Lyne, quickly recognized what roused Rachael’s passion and ire more than anything – ocean trash. Not long after that October day in 2009, The Rozalia Project, a 501 c 3 non-profit, to develop real world solutions to our ocean pollution problems, was born.
Since 2010 Rachael, James, and Rozalia staff, crew, interns, sponsors, and supporters have been championing healthy oceans education, remediation (cleanup), innovation, and doing solutions-based research. Rozalia focuses on urban and coastal waters believing the source of the pollution is at the land-sea interface. “Reduce, reuse, and recycle” is among the organization’s mantras. Armed with data from numerous expeditions and collaborations with a variety of organizations, scientists, researchers, and STEM programs, Rozalia Project has just launched NoFish2048. Believing that all of the fisheries that are currently fished for food will collapse by 2048 unless we take direct action quickly, NoFish2048 works to stop overfishing of our oceans.
The sexy part of the Rozalia Project’s efforts is its ocean expeditions aboard American Promise, an environmentally-friendly ocean research sailing vessel, in New England’s coastal waters. Rozalia Project uses these two, three-week-long expeditions collect data and imagery,. While spaces for crew, scientists, researchers, and ocean advocates aboard American Promise’s 2015 expeditions are nearly full, Rozalia Project would love to hear from grand prix and seasoned sailors to volunteer to lend their skills to the expeditions as captains and chief mates so the researchers can dedicate more time to their on the water research. Energetic, flexible, dog-loving, ocean-loving people are invited to apply.
Miller gave a compelling TEDx presentation in May 2014 in which she provided shocking statistics about the quantity of trash in our ocean waters. It’s common practice for sailors to check for kelp and weed on their keels, centerboards, daggerboards, and rudders, but if a seal in Boston Harbor encounters a piece of trash ever 100 feet and a dolphin in Marina del Rey encounters 33 pieces of trash every 100 feet, we had better keep our eyes peeled for trash too.
Right now, 50 million tons of trash and plastics are being added to our oceans every year. Trash is covering the sea floor and smothering the marine environment. Much of the trash is entering our watershed as runoff from urban areas. The concentration of trash in the coastal waters off of urban areas is 2 to 10 times greater than it is in the ocean trash gyres that we’ve all heard and read about. That’s why Rachael and the Rozalia Project focus on the interface.
The Rozalia Project has worked closely with US Sailing’s Reach initiative in developing its STEM Module 6. Rozalia analyzes the data collected by the STEM programs to help them understand the source of their localized pollution and implement long-term solutions. Miller makes it clear, “Rozalia is an equal opportunity marine debris program, we’re not just about eliminating ocean plastics.” She is particularly excited about the Point Loma High School Sailing Team’s Spring Cleaning Challenge. News and photos of the Challenge appear in ISSA News and on the High School Sailing Clean Ocean Facebook Page. Point Loma is challenging all high school sailing teams to clean a shoreline near them, collect data, seek solutions and post pictures on the Facebook page.
Rachael and the Rozalia Project have identified the land-sea interface as the location where all of us can focus on. That’s why participating in beach clean ups and picking up trash along the beach, gutters, and trails every time you take your dog for a walk are so important. Once we find those wrappers, plastics, cigarette butts, and broken pieces of foam, retrieve them and dispose of them properly, even if it means carrying the extra weight back to shore. Take it from Rachael, “Every little bit counts.”
Thank you Rachael Miller for taking action, networking, collaborating, and inspiring sailors everywhere to become better ocean stewards. Listen to Rachael and learn more about the Rozalia Project.

STEM Modules Diversify Sailing Programs
As community and yacht club sailing programs gear up for the summer by hiring instructors and pulling boats out of the storage shed there’s more and more talk of STEM. Your understanding and experience with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curricula will vary depending on your previous exposure. Believe it or not, some of us still have not heard about creative ways to include STEM elements into sailing classes. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but the sooner you are comfortable with it the more likely it is that you will lead the charge to incorporate STEM modules your summer program’s offerings.
US Sailing, Spirit of America, SeaPerch, and National Sailing Hall of Fame, know America needs designers, engineers, builders, and professionals who are comfortable with math and science. They have been developing and packaging instructional materials, instructor training courses, curricula, kits, and contests so that you can offer a fun, hands-on, out-of-the-box, turnkey STEM programs as part of your organization’s waterfront training program. STEM programs make physics fun and environmental science engaging for middle and high school students by using boats to access the natural environment as a classroom. It takes a committed advocate to start a STEM program and a number of moving parts need to come together to get it off the ground. Rather than recreate the wheel, take advantage of the developmental and implementation experience of these proven and readily available module offerings.
US Sailing, through its Reach initiative, has created ten modules incorporating math, physics, environmental science, and physical science. They align with Common Core and Next Generation standards and enable educators and sailing instructors to share a common language and platform. The modules can be used as rainy day material or as four to eight-week programs that will give your students an understanding of isosceles triangles, volume, displacement, speed, and pressure differentials, and become better environmental stewards too.
Over 400 programs have purchased US Sailing’s Reach middle school STEM modules and the trend is growing. US Sailing encourages K-12 teachers and sailing instructors to attend their STEM educator training workshops as a way to acquire an immediate peer group and network of 12-15 other STEM sailing instructors and educators. These one-day, eight-hour professional development/training sessions are hosted at a number of interesting venues including the U.S. Naval Academy and Shake a Leg Miami.
Jessica Servis, US Sailing’s Reach Program Manager, believes, “Community sailing centers are the nexus for students, STEM concepts, and real world career paths. In many cases, we start at the beginning by bringing the kids to water for the first time. Once there, scientists may teach them how to take biodiversity samples or NOAA professionals may introduce them to concepts such as weather patterns”. Whether its in the lab, on the dock, or aboard a boat, when the aha! moment strikes, it’s rewarding for students and teachers alike.
Spirit of America has certified 22 programs around the country in its curriculum. Students receive five hours of instruction in each boating discipline – paddle, sail, and power boating, and they spend time on a state boating law enforcement vessel or Coast Guard vessel. Over 10,000 students have learned equipment awareness, drowning prevention, and all they need to pass their State Boating Education Course. For some kids getting that blue card is just as important as getting your automobile driver’s license.
In less than a decade, over 200,000 middle school, high school, and first year college students have been introduced to underwater robotics through SeaPerch. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and managed by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, last year alone, over 70,000 students built underwater robots from SeaPerch kits. New England Science & Sailing (NESS) and other sailing and community boating programs have adapted the robots so they can collect marine specimens and debris off docks and along beaches. Over 25% of SeaPerch participants have indicated they were more interested in studying STEM after building and operating their underwater robot.
Susan Giver Nelson, SeaPerch’s Executive Director credits the program’s success to numerous factors, yet “Maybe the least tangible but most important, the kids have responded to SeaPerch in a way not seen with most other hands-on programs. One teacher, who has taught for 30 years, said, ‘This is the best thing I have ever done in my classroom’”.
If you want to add variety to your sailing program and help kids gain a hands-on appreciation and understanding for science, technology, engineering, and math concepts that may be easier understood on the beach, on the dock, in the water, or in a boat, than in a classroom, consider looking into the STEM modules that have been introduced to thousands of middle school and high school students around the country by US Sailing, Spirit of America, National Sailing Hall of Fame, and SeaPerch.

Club Profile: Eastern Yacht Club
It should come as no surprise that Marblehead, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the American Navy, is steeped in yachting tradition. A town of just under 20,000, it plays host to six yacht clubs, three on the Neck and three on the mainland side of the harbor. Of the three on the Neck, Eastern Yacht Club is the oldest, and depending who you talk to, the most prestigious. Home to three America’s Cup defenders (Puritan, Mayflower and Volunteer, in 1885, 1886, and 1887 respectively), the Eastern has been a part of American yachting history for the past century and a half.
Organized in 1870, the Eastern Yacht Club has played host to regattas at the local, regional, national and international level. These include Etchells Worlds, Star Worlds, IOD Worlds, Viper 640 North Americans, Sonar North Americans, Shields Nationals, and the 1996 Soling North Americans. Annually they hold host to Marblehead Race Week in conjunction with the Corinthian Yacht Club and Boston Yacht Club.
The waterfront is home to a healthy racing fleet with large one design and PHRF classes, as well as a multitude of cruisers and learns to sail programs. In addition to the waterfront, activities include tennis, the pool area, social events, and paddle tennis. The Clubhouse is expansive and offers some of the best sunset views in the Marblehead. The Samoset Porch is a large informal dining area with bar service and casual dining for members. Inside, the Henderson Dining Room is a full service dining area with a full menu and bar service. For casual drinks, the Barker Clubroom has a full bar and offers additional dinner seating.
For any sailor, a visit to the Eastern, as well as the Corinthian or the Boston, should never be passed up if offered. The Clubhouse is packed with yachting history, from the late 1800s to present day racing success. Whether it be Marblehead Race Week, or the club team race series, there is always racing at the Eastern. Given the location and the level of sailing, it is one of the premier yacht clubs in the Northeast.
