(Berlin, Germany)- The national class in Germany is working hard on
promoting youth sailing in J/80s and broadening the appeal of one-design
racing, with a focus also on preparing for the Worlds Marseilles.
After the very successful youth development program that was introduced
in 2012 for the first time, the J/80 Class in Germany has decided again
to promote and provide boats for youth for the 2013 season! Here's is
how it works:
"To promote Junior J/80 sailing, the German Class Association is
providing up to 3 boats with a charter fee of 500 EUR each, used to
support the participation of the youth in German and international
regattas.
Any German J/80 crew can apply, but must meet certain qualifications- 25
years old maximum, student in school/ university, and members of the
J/80 Class. Applications may be submitted informally to the Board of
the J80 Class Association and must be received by April 30th."
