RPAYC Youth Sailors Shine at Zhik Youth Sail NSW

RPAYC’s junior and youth sailors were out in force at the 2026 Zhik Youth Sail NSW, proudly representing the Club and achieving some fantastic results across the fleet.

Held on Lake Macquarie, the event brought together young sailors from across New South Wales and Australia for a week of learning, friendship and competition. A three-day coaching clinic, led by some of the state’s most experienced youth sailing coaches, gave our sailors the opportunity to develop their skills before putting them into practice over three days of championship racing.

For RPAYC’s young sailors, the week offered much more than a chance to compete. It was an opportunity to build confidence, learn alongside their peers and strengthen friendships within the wider sailing community.

Congratulations to all our RPAYC sailors who took part! It is wonderful to see such strong Club representation at this major youth sailing event, with enthusiastic participation and impressive performances to celebrate. Thank you to the coaches, families and supporters who help our young sailors make the most of these opportunities.
