Olympic Representation largely depends on the age and sailing maturity of our small sailing nation. After a long break from our first representative we, at last, had sailors of standing and determination to complete the long drawn out years of buildup and competition resulting in the qualification of Helema Williams in Laser Radial, London 2012. She was followed by Teau McKenzie, Laser Radial, and Taua Henry Laser Standard, in Rio 2016.

This young man’s determination is pretty well spelt out by the tough goals he set himself in the summer Tour this year – targeting as much big fleet sailing as he could in his school holidays!
