As well as coaching Olivia, Penny represented Britain at the Beijing 2008 Games and is now the coach to Ali, the country’s greatest ever Radial sailor with two Olympics (London 2012 and Rio 2016) and a world championship title under her belt. Win this amazing prize for your sailor, or why not for a group of up to 8 sailors? This prize is open to sailors in any class of dinghy, but if you’re a Laser sailor, then Ali Young will be in her own Laser with you. A bit more about Ali: Ali Young got into sailing on her local reservoir at an early age, joining the local Optimist class circuit. Aged 13 she joined the national Optimist squad before moving into the Topper class and then the Laser Radial when she was 15. In 2005 she proved her talent, winning bronze at the Youth World Championships and soon became a fully paid-up member of the British Sailing Team. After stepping back from racing to go to university, Ali graduated in 2008 with a First-class honours degree in Civil Engineering. She was one of the final sailors picked for London 2012, finishing fifth on home waters. Illness side-lined her for 10 months in late 2013 and early 2014 but she bounced back to win silver at the first Rio 2016 test event in the summer of 2014. In the run-up to Rio, Ali made history by becoming the first British woman ever to win gold at an Olympic class world championship, going on to finish eighth at her second Games. She remains one of the most feared and respected Laser Radial sailors in the world as she prepares for Tokyo 2020. With grateful thanks to the RYA Notes: 1. The date for this visit will be set as mutually convenient, noting inevitable diary pressures. Arrangements will be handled with the RYA. 2.
