This program encourages young female sailors (ages 13-16) to participate in a world-class sailing championship and aims to foster a lasting love for sailing among young girls and support their development within the sport.

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 Australian Sailing have come on board and will provide a squad coach for on-water coaching and shore briefings.

Thanks to the ILCA districts for their support, providing a boat for their sailor and for managing the selection process.
