The second module of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Mastercard Youth Training Programme kicks off next month and is designed for those aged 15-23 who are looking for the next step after dinghies and who enjoy working in a team.
The programme starts on July 23 and will cover all things keelboat sailing – including boat handling, teamwork, communication, fitness, speed, tactics, rules and much more.
The module will also include an overnight weekend sailing on two iconic New Zealand ocean-racing yachts - Lion and Steinlager 2 - with experienced instructors.
It is run using 10 identical Elliott 7 yachts with graduates of the programme having gone on to compete in the America’s Cup and The Ocean Race, as well as establish themselves in several professional sailing and industry roles.
