Ten sailors from the Sandy Bay Sailing Club and the International Cadet Class of Tasmania are seeking support to help them participate at the International Cadet World Championship in the Czech Republic 1-9 August 2025.The Tasmanian sailors make up half of the Australian team which was selected at the 2024 Australian Championship in Port Lincoln.They are:-         Isaac Archer (aged 16) and Archie McQuillen (aged 12) in ‘Schmoken’-         Alex Ashbolt (aged 14) and Lachie Prior (aged 12) in ‘Incognito’-         Olive Hooper (aged 14) and Samantha Archer (aged 14) in ‘Executioner’-         Henry McQuillen (aged 15) and Thomas Pitt (aged 12) in ‘Upshift’-         Sarah Reynolds (aged 16) and Harriet Hogan (aged 9) in ‘Stoked’Help these talented young sailors get to the ICC World Championships in the Czech Republic by supporting a &#39;sailathon&#39; of 20 nautical miles down the River Derwent around the Iron Pot in Storm Bay, and back again.For boats more used to sailing short races, the Iron Pot Sailathon is a huge step up in time and distance, with the trip expected to take between five to nine hours depending on the wind and weather conditions.For perspective, the Cadet dinghy is just over 3.2 metres long, 1.38 metres wide, and weighs a mere 54 kilograms with only two sailors onboard, one helm and one crew.Funds raised will be used to offset the costs of participating in the International Cadet World Championship. This includes costs for entry fees, boat charter, team uniform and coaching costs.
