RS21 Youth Squad
Details
Course information
The RGYC Youth Squad is open to youth members, aged between 13 and 24, who can demonstrate existing dinghy or keelboat sailing skills and experienced in fleet racing.
The RGYC Youth Squad will run from May to August 2024. The program will be delivered in two key training blocks, beginning with keelboat and RS21 fundamentals in May, with a focused approach to match and teams racing in July and August. Delivered by Australian Sailing Coaches, the aim of this squad is to provide youth sailors with new and exciting avenues to explore in their sailing, and with the opportunity to gain selection to represent RGYC at youth regattas in the future.
