The Youth Champs application deadline is fast approaching, on March 15th and with new changes to the sailing schedule this year, everyone should apply!! While nothing has been confirmed yet, US Sailing leadership have announced that they intend to make ISAF Youth Worlds qualification a 2 part trial, with Youth Champs and Orange Bowl each accounting for part of a team's final score. Ultimately, the goal is to place more focus on US events such as the Youth Champs, so expect the field of talent to be very deep this year! Even if you are new to the 29er (or another Youth Champs class), applying to the event is a great way to get a sense of what the selection committee is looking for, and will give you a strong idea of what you need to be working on next year. Who knows - work hard and you might make the cut this year!
Youth Champs will be held from August 12-16 this year in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Hope to see everyone at Youth Champs!
