Any athlete who is not a member of the Australian Sailing Team who wishes to be considered for selection for the 2007 ISAF World Championships should:
• send an expression of interest,
• enclose a sailing biography detailing their experience and results, a statement of why they believe they should be selected to attend, and
• provide expression of interest details of any equipment shipping they need to ship to the championships. Please note, YA is not funding and may not coordinate shipping.

Expressions of interest should be sent by e-mail to Katie.Culbert@australiansailingteam.com.au by Monday 12th March. When the statement regarding selection is published next week you will receive this via e-mail also.
