YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
WRAP UP
The 22 week Youth Development program has concluded for the year , finishing up with a wonderful presentation dinner on Saturday 24th of October .
The dinner flowed on from the opening of the world class Jack Gale Centre , where graduates were given a brief history on the Club and the old “ Moonbar ” facility . The centre is going to be a great learning tool for our YD squad going forward , and we are very appreciative of all the effort that has gone in to produce a world class training facility .
The dinner gave us time to sit back and reflect on the year that has been , and the impressive results the squad has achieved .
Some of these results include .
• 1st Harken Youth International Match Racing Championships ( First ever all female team to win the event )
• 3rd Musto Youth International Match Racing Championships
• 9th Women ’ s World Match Racing Championships
• 1st Marinassess Womens Match Racing Open Championships
• 1st CYCA , RSYS and RPAYC Interclub Regatta
• 1st New Caledonia Youth Match Racing Championships

dedication to the program , with all those early starts and long nights in the gym paying off !
Parents , partners and squad members enjoyed a wonderful meal , with the food and beverage department hitting another home run , with enough food to sink a ship ! Much to the delight of the boys in the squad .
We would like to take this opportunity to again thank the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club , its members and the boat sponsors of the Elliott 7s . I would also like to thank Katie Pellew and Jordan Reece , who both through their coaching attributed to these great results , and Tana Anderson and Dan Cook , for all those punishing Friday Night Gym sessions !
