New Zealand’s only ISAF 100 Point Olympic, Paralympic and invited class regatta is pleased to again offer a travel subsidy to help kiwi sailors from outside the Auckland Region take part in this world class event.
For 2015, this offering has been extended past the Olympic and Paralympic classes, now including the Youth Classes to boost participation of younger sailors at the event to be sailed at Royal Akarana Yacht Club from 26th February – 1st March 2015. The youth classes included in this scheme are: 29er, 420, Laser Radial and RSX 8.5.
The rebate applies to the boat transport to and from the competitor’s home club and/or place of residence, and amounts to:
- Whangarei and Northwards: $100
- Gisborne, Napier, New Plymouth and South of Taupo: $100
- Picton to Christchurch:$300
- South of Christchurch: $400
Effective immediately, this offer is limited to the first 20 complete Olympic/Paralympic/Youth class registrations received by RAYC and the subsidy pool is restricted to $5,000 – so get your entries in quick.
Rebates will be paid upon the sailor(s) completion of the Regatta. A youth sailor for this event is defined as a sailor that has not attained their 19th birthday prior to 31 December 2014. The Sail Auckland Organising Committee reserves the right to rule on any issues relating to this subsidy and that ruling will be final.
