Have you ever dreamed of racing in front of tens of thousands of spectators lining the foreshore, sailing under the banner of your home country? Well here is your opportunity!

SailGP in conjunction with WASZP have developed the most exciting, diverse and engaging youth racing circuit on the planet. If you are a sailor under the age of 21 then this opportunity is for you.

Sailing has long been a sport of who you know and who can spend the most money to get to the top. WASZP and SailGP are breaking down these barriers, opening up selection to everyone who has the ambition, motivation and talent to take their sailing forward. Based on an equal selection policy of 8 male and 8 female athletes at each event we are looking to unearth the next group of stars in the sport, no matter where you have come from, sailing is a sport for everyone, this is a chance to write your own script and SailGP is providing the opportunity to make this real!

WASZP is the recognised pathway class for the SailGP league for U21 Youth Sailors. All applicants must provide a written application to be selected and you can do that right now.
