The Youth America's Cup has come at the perfect time for a bunch of young sailors whose plans have been thrown into chaos by Covid-19.

Hamish Willcox has achieved incredible success in the sport as both a sailor and coach. He won three 470 world titles with David Barnes in the early 1980s, was involved with four America’s Cups campaigns and even sailed in the Round the World Race.

New Zealand’s biggest multi-day keelboat sailing event, Bay of Islands Sailing Week, has been awarded gold level clean regattas certification for their “extraordinary waste management efforts” during the last regatta in January 2020.
