Elyse Ainsworth is a sailor representing Australia at an elite level, who often travels overseas to better her skills and compete internationally. Making her debut in 2017 internationally, Elyse is using her dedication and hard work to earn her place in the senior fleet.

Elyse is based in Western Australia and often travels domestically and internationally. However, travelling this frequently comes at a significant cost including boat and equipment maintenance. Even with her busy schedule of training and traveling, Elyse tries to find time to work at yacht clubs coaching young sailors, earning money for her campaign. She does receive support from Australian Sailing and WAIS, as well as some local grants. However, it is not nearly enough to support and maintain a large campaign towards the Olympic Games.

The money that is donated through the Australian Sports Foundation will be very helpful in assisting with travel, accomodation and maintain equipment costs. By using this platform, all the donations are tax deductible and go to a very good cause. Please support Elyse on her journey to the Olympic Games and represent Australia!
