Description
This summer’s coaches are three of Canterbury’s top young sailors, all members of Naval Point Club Lyttelton. Oak Galbraith has raced at the O’pen Skiff World Championships in Italy and is a girls’ Starling champion. Lucy Luxford is a female Starling national champion and this season’s girls’ 420 youth champion. Hayden Chisholm is the Paper Tiger youth national champion and races the foiling WASZP. He was chosen as one of only ten sailors worldwide to sail the Nastro Rosa Tour in Italy, and he is already a contracted Optimist coach. All three started out as beginners in small boats, so they know exactly what it’s like to learn to sail.
