NRV Youth Team

Success is manageable. The future lies in our hands and this is where it should be: The future of our next generation sailors. The NRV proves this time and again very emphatically through youth development schemes that are unique in the regatta scene. By way of these schemes individual talented youngsters are encouraged, monitored and guided. This is support provided in addition to the youth development scheme.

The NRV Youth Team consists of sailors (male / female) in the Optimist A, Teeny, 420er, 470er, Laser Radial and Laser Standard boat classes.

Criteria for acceptance:

  1. To be among the first 25% in the German rankings
  2. Meeting the physical requirements (fitness, physique)
  3. 420er, Laser Radial: age below 19
  4. 470er, Laser Standard, Laser Radial (female): age below 26

For transfer to another class (e.g. from Opti to a 420) the criterion for acceptance is the performance in the previous boat class.
