Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club (NYRC) junior Leon-Wei Petit has been officially selected to represent Australia at the upcoming 2025 Open Skiff World Championships, to be held in Nishinomiya, Japan, from 16 to 23 July.
Leon-Wei has shown great dedication and progress in his training and competitions, and this international selection is a testament to his commitment and passion for sailing.
Representing both his country and his club at such a prestigious event is a significant honour.
Also on the world sailing stage is NYRC Kite foiler Oscar Timm, who is currently back in Australia contesting the National Kite foil series in Townsville, then Bowen.
Oscar has had a successful start to the International Kite foiling season in Europe.
He competed in both the Heyres and Palma regattas and will return to Europe for a four week elite training camp as a lead up to the World Championship at Poetto Beach, Sardinia in September.
“We wish our sailors the best of luck,” a NYRC spokesperson said.
