This is the third year of the program and already some participants have transitioned to the ILCA 6 and participated in subsequent State & National events.

 

This year local builder PSA have come on board and very generously will provide charter boats and merchandise for all the sailors. Australian Sailing are also providing much appreciated support for the program.

 

Thanks to the ILCA districts for their support, and for managing the selection process.
