Olympian Laura Baldwin has joined the coaching panel for Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club’s Junior and Youth Laser Identification and Development Camp on the weekend of the 22nd – 24th October.
The live in camp had been designed as a training camp for all Junior and Youth 4.7 and radial Laser sailors and Yachting Queensland has approved the camp as part of the YQ Identification and Development program. This camp is great for both the sailors who have recently started or who have come up from another class. Participants stay at the Sea Scouts Bunkhouse just minutes away from the club house.
Laura Baldwin represented Great Britain at the Athens 2004 Olympics in the Europe class before switching to Laser Radial with 20 top 10 results at ISAF Grade One events with 2 x Gold, 5 x Silver and 4 x Bronze medals earning her #2 ISAF World Ranking. Laura after moving to Australia is the current 2010 Australian Women’s Laser Champion and has been re-elected as Laser Radial Class Rep on the ISAF Athletes Commission.
“I’m really looking forward to the camp, I love sharing my passion and skills with others and I’m excited to visit Noosa for the first time too”, Laura told.
Laura is able to attend with the support of Performance Sailcraft Australasia who supply the Laser in Australia.
Laura will be joined by Ben Callard, Australian Youth Olympic Sailing Coach and Noosa’s own Laser champions Ryan Palk and Klade Hauschildt who are both just back from regatta’s overseas. Ryan best result being 13th in the European Championships and Klade coming 51st in the Sail for Gold 2010, London.
