JK 28 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Two young sailors looking for sponsorhip to further their sailing ambitions: Help the boys reach their goal of sailing a 470 at the Olympics by voting for them on the link below. Funding structures for Olympic campaigns are as fundamental to a team’s success as is the training and planning they do to ensure goals are achieved; below is a brief James and Carl have put together to outline their goal. James has applied for an AMP Scholarship and People’s Choice Award. By voting for James the boys could win $10,000 towards their campaign. Please take a couple of minutes to vote for James through the attached link to support them on their journey to Rio 2016.. https://www.facebook.com/AMPdoyourthing/app_388359517893913 Go to 'Find an applicant - search for James Turner open his link and VOTE ! (check out the video) James Turner (helm) has been sailing the Olympic 470 for two years, in February 2012 together with Finn Drummond, won the Silver Medal at the 470 Junior World Championships. Carl Evans (crew) previously was helm sailing with Peter Burling in the 470 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Carl and Peter were the youngest sailors (aged 17), in NZ history to cross an Olympic start line and placed 11th at this event. Together we have joined forces to achieve our individual dreams - to medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. There are many steps that must be achieved along the way, in order to fulfil our ambition, the first is a top 16 placing at the World Championships at La Rochelle, France, in 2013. Previous to this event we intend to compete at a minimum of four regattas in Europe in order to be regularly competing and matching up with the best sailors around the world. We both will reduce our university studies in 2013 (engineering papers) so we can commit to training on and off the water, and spend four months overseas competing. Although we are requesting sponsorship we also try to give back to the community where and when we can through coaching and mentoring junior sailors within Sailing clubs and clinics, in October we are involved in a paddle board team event raising money for charity http://www.paddleforhope.co.nz Many thanks for your support.
