The SL16 Class Association is pleased to announce Mike Siau and Sarah Newberry are to represent youth from the United States in the first ever SLICA Gold Cup in La Baule, France July 21st - 25th.

Youth sailors from around the country were asked to send their resumes of sailing experiences to a select committee for consideration several months ago. Mike Siau from Manlius,NY near Syracuse and Sarah Newberry from Miami, Florida will leave for France to sail on the new SL16 catamaran chosen by ISAF to be the new youth catamaran in future ISAF events. Our team can expect close competition as this regatta has many European youth teams already signed up and anxious to be the first winners of what will undoubtedly become an annual event.
