Regatta Documents

Since 1990

The International Youth Match Racing Regatta started in 1990 when it was first won by the RNZYS team of Gavin Brady, Stuart Clarke, and James 'Skip' Baxter. The event was then sailed in the Elliott 5.9 Youth Training Keelboats.
In 1996 the Coca-Cola trophy was donated and the event was renamed the 'Coca-Cola Cup' and  quickly became regarded as the unofficial World Youth Championships of Match Racing. In 2008 we welcomed on board the National Bank of New Zealand as naming rights sponsor, and are pleased to have them contribute to this fantastic regatta.
Many of the young sailors who have competed in this event previously have now cemented places in America's Cup Syndicates, Volvo Ocean Race teams as well as achieving very high World Match Race rankings.
