Issue date
Female sailors under the age of 18 are invited to apply for Yachting New Zealand's new Starling Girls Accelerator programme, an initiative aimed at fast-tracking a select group of sailors' development through the single-handed dinghy class and into the Aon national youth programme.
The 12-month programme will see up to 12 young female Starling sailors develop their skills and knowledge through a series of on-water and online sessions.
The programme consists of intensive on-water clinics, coaching support at key events, online workshops and individual check-ins along the way and will be supported by experts in the Starling class, NZL Sailing Team members and coaches, as well as High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) support staff.
Applications close at 5pm on Monday, May 6.
