BREAKING NEWS: Women’s 470 Trials Complete and Tokyo 2020 Nominees Named
The 2021 470 World Championship fleet racing series concluded Friday, completing the third and final stage of the US Sailing Team’s Olympic Selection series. At the conclusion of the qualifying series, Nikki Barnes (St. Thomas, USVI) and Lara Dallman-Weiss (Hugo, Minn.) have 97 points and stand in seventh place. This position guarantees them the lowest point total of the three competing USA 470 women’s teams and qualifies them to be nominated as the US representatives in the Women’s 470 for the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Medal Races Finished and the 470 World Championships Come to a Close
The 2021 470 World Championships have officially come to a close with the completion of the final medal race on Saturday. A second-place finish in the medal race promoted Stu McNay and Dave Hughes to a fifth-place finish overall.

A great opportunity being offered by the Women’s Sailing Foundation for young women sailors 14-19 years old❗👍👇The Women’s Sailing Foundation is offering the Sue Corl Youth Sailing Scholarship now. The scholarship is for young women sailors 14-19 years old who have identified a sailing program they wish to attend.
The programs may include an advanced sailing program, a tall ship or live-aboard experience, a marine or marine-related program. Examples include environmental studies or a sail racing program. Scholarship funding is up to $500 and will be awarded to one applicant.
Application period is open NOW until the deadline of May 15.
This scholarship was suspended in 2020 due to COVID. More eligible programs will be available as 2021 progresses so we have adjusted our deadline to May 15. The later date will allow applicants to identify a program that will run in 2021.
The scholarship is named after Sue Corl who was a tireless advocate for introducing sailing to young women.
WSF encourages all eligible young women sailors to apply at womensailing.org/sue-corl-youth-sailing-scholarship/
