Performance Sailcraft sponsors the ILCA Oceania Youth Solidarity Program

Boats change, expectations rise, and the costs and confidence required to compete at a higher level can become real barriers. The ILCA Oceania Youth Solidarity Program exists to remove those barriers – and in 2026, it returns for its fourth edition with a clear purpose: supporting young female sailors and growing the ILCA 4 fleet across Oceania.

Running across Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Island countries, the Youth Solidarity Program is designed to actively promote the ILCA 4 as the logical transition class for junior and youth sailors. More than just participation, the goal is to grow long-term engagement – within clubs, districts, and at major championship events.

Performance Sailcraft were proud to sponsor the Solidarity Program and provided ILCA 4 charter boats to all Solidarity sailors to help them compete at the ILCA Oceania Championships.
