Brief
history of the activities of the Port Nicholson Yachting Trust
The first ongoing programme that the trust established is the Port
Nicholson Yachting Trust Youth Scheme. The Trust has made available to the Wellington
youth yachting community a fleet of four Elliot 6 Metre keelboats, a
chase boat and funding to run a coaching programme for sailors. The
Trust sets the direction for the Scheme and provides governance of its
implementation. The Trust engages the Sailing Academy to implement the
scheme's coaching programmes.
During the 2002-3 and 2003-4 seasons more than thirty sailors benefited
from a full year programme of match racing coaching. Some sailors from
the scheme in these years went on to establish professional sailing
careers and are competing in the international sailing circuit. Others have
used skills developed whilst on the scheme to improve their own dinghy
sailing programmes. Yet others have gone on to careers in the general
yachting industry both in New Zealand
and overseas.
At
the end of the 2003-4 season the trustees took stock of progress that
had been made and reviewed the direction in which the scheme had been
operating. As a result of the review process it was decided to build on
the successes of the early years and begin expanding the scheme to cater for the
coaching needs of the wider youth yachting community in the Wellington
region.
During the seasons from 2004-7 the trust developed and implemented a
coaching programme for all youth classes including Ps, Starlings, 420s,
Lasers as well as e6 match racing.
During
the 2006-7 season the Trust began working with Yachting New Zealand and
the New Zealand Academy of Sport in
order to establish a regional talent development
programme. During the
winter of 2007, with work nearly completed on the talent development
programme structure, a decision was made by the trustees to move away
from the provision of dinghy coaching and sport science input as this
was to be covered by the talent development programme.
The
focus for the trust shifted to expanding the
match racing programmes offered in Wellington region to include a secondary
schools component, a women on water component, a winter
introduction to
match racing programme and a summer match racing
squad. The evolution of these programmes during the period 2007 to
2011 is the next phase is the next phase in the development of the youth
scheme. This website now represents the annual plan for the expanded
youth scheme programme, while reports against KPIs for the match racing
squads are now summarised in the talent development programme end of season
