About VMG Solutions
"Velocity Made Good" (VMG) is a sailing term used to describe the speed at which a sailboat is making progress toward a specific point of interest, typically its destination or a mark in a race, considering both the boat's speed and its direction in relation to the wind. It's essentially the speed a boat is making towards a specific point on the water, rather than its overall speed through the water.
Sailboats can't always sail directly towards their destination due to the way the wind interacts with the sails. They have to navigate by tacking (sailing at angles to the wind) or gybing (changing the sail position when changing direction) to make headway toward their target. As a result, the VMG is a more practical measure of progress than just the boat's speed through the water.
​
Sailors often adjust their course and sail trim to maximize their VMG, aiming to find the most efficient combination of sail angle and boat speed that allows them to reach their destination in the shortest time possible. It's a crucial consideration in racing and navigation, where achieving the best VMG can mean the difference between winning and losing or reaching a destination quickly and efficiently.
Rachael's Story
For many years before moving to the States, Rachael was a successful Barrister at Law that owned her own practice in England. Through this experience, she learned she a had passion and talent for helping other entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders lean into the best versions of themselves. While serving and supporting her clients, she has had the opportunity to study under and learn from true masters of their craft.
​
In 2002, Rachael emigrated to the United States, taking a leap of faith to start a new chapter of her life in a new country. There were plenty of unknowns and adventures waiting on the other side of the Atlantic, but It would prove to be a good decision. Rachael would marry the love of her life and take on a new executive role for a company that was deeply invested in the wellbeing of her new community in Pensacola, Florida. Together, they would also pursue their love of being in nature and of sailing.
​
In 2023, it was time to start writing another new chapter in her life’s story. Combining her years of experience as an entrepreneur, her passion for being on the water, her knowledge of the law, her savvy as an executive, and her love of helping people reach their goals, Rachael launched VMG Solutions. VMG stands for Velocity Made Good, a concept founded upon the idea that the most direct course of action is not always the fastest or most efficient course of action.
