Samantha McClements - Sailors for the Sea

Samantha McClements

“Exploring our oceans goes hand-in-hand with protecting them.”

Sam McClements’ obsession with the sea has taken her from competitive offshore ocean racing to teaching the next generation of sailors. With more than 20,000 miles at sea, she is the co-owner and Principal of Elite Sailing, a premier sail training and adventure company in the Southeast of England.

Studying Physical Geography at university while training as a rescue diver gave Sam her first deep insights into the underwater world. This passion led her to complete a Marine Biology Diploma, which further fueled her respect for the ocean and set her on a dedicated marine conservation pathway. Today, as a sailing instructor and Principal of a sailing school, she actively supports marine charities, runs and participates in beach cleans, and blogs at SheWhoSails.com. Sam firmly believes that exploring our oceans goes hand-in-hand with protecting them, and she is passionate about empowering other sailors to defend our precious marine ecosystems.
