Invitation
to sailors
Youth sailors
in the region covered by the Wellington Yachting Association who are
campaigning nationally are invited to become part of the
Wellington Yachting talent development programme.
The definition of youth used for the programme is that used for the Trans
Tasman Youth Match Racing circuit - i.e. under 21 years of
age. Invited sailors will be sailing in classes above the
junior level - i.e. have moved out of Optimist and P Classes.
Sailors are invited annually to join the Wellington Yachting Talent
Development Programme (invitees are sanctioned by the Advisory
Group) on the basis that they have the potential to one day be
selected for the Yachting New Zealand Youth and High Performance
programmes or to achieve international success on the youth match
racing circuit. Invitations are issued directly to individuals.
A general invitation is extended to all clubs in the
Wellington Yachting Association so
they can also put forward accomplished candidates for the
programme. Sailors from the lower North Island are able to participate
in clinic based elements of the programme.
A limit of 25
sailors is included in the programme in any one year. Sailors
who are carded through the national programme are able to
receive support through the regional squad but their servicing
will charged against their card. If more than 25 sailors register
for the programme then a selection process is entered into. The
selection process is undertaken by the Advisory Group.
Sailor's past performance and commitment is used to select
sailors for the programme.
In 2009-10 on the
water coaching is targeted at starling and laser sailors. Sport
science support will be provided to these sailors plus sailors in
the Wellington Youth Match Racing squad. In March 2010 a
review will be undertaken to identify the classes to receive on the
water coaching in 2010-11.
