Talent Academies formed for high-performance youth sailors


ˇ


he four venues for the RYA’s new Talent Academies for youth racers


have been selected. As one of two new


programmes, established following the British Sailing Pathway Review, Talent Academies will provide high-quality, regular training opportunities closer to home for sailors showing future performance potential. This will help reduce costs and travel time for sailors and their families, while increasing access to the British Sailing Pathway in the process. Datchet Water Sailing Club,


Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club in partnership with Leigh Sports Village, Rutland Sailing Club and the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing


Academy were chosen as host venues from many high-quality applications. Academies hosted at inland venues will be supported by coastal venues to ensure sailors can develop adaptive skills across differing conditions. The Talent Academies


will be focusing initially on two areas: talent transition – the movement of sailors from junior to youth classes – and the performance development of sailors whose high- performance potential has already been established within their youth class.
