We’re Aruba Racing Team, a mixed 470 Sailing Team representing Australia on the journey toward the 2028 Olympic Games!In 2026, we’ll take our biggest step yet — heading overseas three times to compete in major international events including the Princess Sofia Regatta, 470 European Championships, Semaine Olympique Française, Kiel Week, and the 470 World Championships in Japan.These events are essential for gaining world-class experience and building toward Olympic qualification — but getting there takes a huge commitment, both on and off the water.Your support helps cover the real costs of a campaign like this:<ul><li>Boat and equipment – upgrades, sails, and ongoing maintenance</li><li>Travel and accommodation – flights, car hire, and fuel across Europe and Japan</li><li>Event fees – regatta entries, training camps, and logistics</li><li>Living costs – food and basic expenses while competing overseas</li></ul>With your help, we can secure a competitive boat and the resources needed to perform at these key events. Every contribution helps — every metre, every race, every start, every season.Every contribution helps us close the gap; every metre, every race, every start, every season.We’re training full-time in Australia, travelling from Sydney to Perth to develop strong technical and teamwork foundations before stepping onto the international stage. With backing from the South Australian Sports Institute and the Australian sailing community, we’re building something special.But the majority of our campaign is still self-funded. Your support makes this possible. Thank you for helping us chase this dream — one race at a time.
