Our Royal Suva Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program got off to a strong start this weekend, with coaches, sailors and parent volunteers all present early Saturday morning for the first briefing of the season.
🐠 In 2026 we welcome 9 first timers into our Optimist “Learn to Sail”division.
We also welcome new coach, Carli Brody, (National Optimist Champion, 2025) to the team.
The youngest in a family of passionate and experienced sailors, Carli brings great energy to the program, we look forward to supporting her development as part of our coaching pathway.
We are equally proud to see strong progression from returning sailors, with five moving up into the advanced Optimist division and a record 9 sailors now active in the Laser fleet. 💙
These numbers reflect the continued growth, depth and strength of junior sailing at RSYC. ⚓️
Lastly we are excited to announce the return of the Royal Akarana coaches for coaching clinics in July! The Auckland based coaches include our own Fiji Sailing Olympian, Sophia Morgan, who continues to invest proudly in the development of sailing in Fiji ⛵️
Further details on the Savusavu & Suva coaching clinic schedules and registrations will be shared soon. 🫡
An exciting season before us, we welcome you and thank you for your support. Let’s Sail Together in 2026!
