NSW Maritime is proud to support the 2011 Nautilus Marine NSW Youth Championships this long weekend.

Acting Deputy Chief Executive Steve Dunn said that youth sailors from across New South Wales will be gathering at Lake Illawarra to compete in one of the largest youth sailing regattas in the country.

'The Youth Championships is expected to attract around 130 youth sailors competing across twelve classes,' said Mr Dunn.

'NSW Maritime is proud to support these championships and take the opportunity to get important safety messages through to this age group around wearing a lifejacket and being safe and responsible sailors.'
