The Etchells Class in Australia has limited participation from intermediate sailors at a club, state, national and world class level. This program has been developed to encourage, support and grow intermediate participation in the Etchells class through the assistance and guidance of the Sydney Etchells Fleet, Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and current class sailors.

The goal is to have 4 intermediate Etchells teams competing regularly in the Sydney Fleet who will be based at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. Participation in the program is not free for the participants but the Foundation is providing boats which have been generously donated by fleet members and the RSYS is providing hardstand space to assist the program greatly. The 2020/21 applications have been received from a very keen and talented group of sailors.

Your support through a tax deductible donation over $2.00 will be greatly appreciated. The funds raised will go towards the ongoing running costs of the boat including maintenance and repairs, insurance and registration.
