The premier Youth Regattas for QLD, WA and NSW are all shaping up to be hotly contested, with the state's top young talent ready to compete over the coming fortnight.

• QLD: The QLD Coaching Clinic and QLD Youth Championships will be hosted again by Keppel Bay Sailing Club (on now till 28^th September)

• WA: The Westsail and Sunsmart WA Youth Championships will be hosted again by Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, 2 – 3 October.

• NSW: The NSW Youth Championships proudly presented by Central Coast Council will be hosted by Point Wolstoncroft Sport & Recreation Centre, 5 – 7 October.

Ben Coleborn, a Laser Radial sailor who is set to attend both the QLD and NSW Youth State Championships says "QLD Youth Champs has a great training camp that I use as a warm up for the NSW event. The NSW Youth Champs has lots more interstate competitors attending making it really good preparation for the Nationals".
