The Junior squad is a development squad made up of youth Sailors in Pacer and Quest to become competitor.
Group training occurs regularly, run by their invaluable coaches, leading the fleets towards State, National and World level competition. Junior squad is very closely integrated with our Club Racing, which runs weekly in the Summer Season (September – April). Training generally does not slow down during the Winter Season as there is regular Club Racing at this time of the year.
