Hi everyone, we are Alice and Klara Travlos, sailors from Perth, on our way to represent Australia at the Youth World Sailing Championships in Portugal in December 2025. Competing in the youth selection regatta, we finished 1st female team and 3rd overall, qualifying for the ISAF Youth World Championship.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped us come this far, our coaches, squad, family and friends. This incredible opportunity in our youth careers would not be possible without the efforts of these amazing people.

We are active members of Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club (RFBYC), Fremantle Sailing Club (FSC), and Perth Dinghy Sailing Club (PDSC). We are instructors for learn to sail courses and volunteer our time on junior sailing committees to foster an encouraging and exciting environment for junior sailors. We learned to sail at an RFBYC Tackers course, before moving to Perth Flying Squadron Yacht club for casual sailing on Sundays where we learnt to love sailing. We discovered our passion for racing skiffs at PDSC in the Junior Dinghy’s, before moving back to RFBYC to train and compete with the 29er squad.

From the 12th to 20nd of December we will be racing the top female youth 29er sailors from 70 countries in Vilamoura, Portugal. This is a unique opportunity to test ourselves, our skills and our strengths in a highly competitive girls' fleet. The self-funded cost of travelling to Portugal with the Australian team is $11 000 per sailor, a total of $22 000 for our team. We would be honoured to receive your help to reach this huge milestone!
