The group of 8 Youth Emirates Team New Zealand hopefuls undertook a busy four day schedule embarking on a steep learning curve encompassing the technical systems and software required to sail the AC40 as well as race training and simulation on the Emirates Team New Zealand simulator.
The 8 trialling sailors at the base are an impressive line-up of world and national champions across a number of different classes.
Annabelle Rennie-Younger        Current 470 & ILCA 6 National Champion
Serena Woodall                        RNZYZ Match race youth program / 2023 69F campaign
Jacob Pye                                 2023 Moth National Champion              
Joshua Armit                             Gold medal at the 2018 Youth Worlds in Laser class
Leo Takahashi                           49er Olympics 2020 Tokyo Olympics- 11th
Oscar Gunn                               2022 49er National Champion 
Sam Robert Thomas Street        2022 International WASZP Games Champion
Seb Menzies                             420 World Champion / 2022 Moth National Champion
Leading the trials and selection process is  Emirates Team New Zealand’s Josh Junior now in his 3rd America’s Cup campaign, having joined in 2016 as a young Olympic class sailor.
“I was lucky enough to join the team as a young sailor, similar to these guys, so I know what an amazing opportunity it is for these guys and girls, but also how daunting it can be. So we are throwing them in the deep end a bit, but that is all part of the challenge.” Said Junior.
Elise Beavis, also helping with the selection process explains what the week has been about.
“We've got our group of shortlisted sailors and they're running through a whole lot of different activities, such as sailing on the game, learning to use some of our in-house tools and their progression through the week has been incredible.”
The week wasn’t just about the individual, but assessing personalities and how they work collectively and the vitally important team environment
“They’ve got to be in sync with each other. They need to communicate well, I think those are big areas where they’re learning heaps.” said Elise Beavis.

When Hope Goddard Iselin became the first woman to sail in the America’s Cup, on board Defender in 1895, her role was defined as part-photographer, part-timekeeper, part-peacemaker.
Strategically positioned between the crew doing the grunt work and the afterguard making decisions, the 27-year-old American socialite was a skilled, cool-headed sailor in her own right. Yet newspapers of the time called her “the mascot��; the good-luck charm on board two winning America’s Cup yachts.
What would Goddard Iselin think today – almost 130 years later – seeing women sail in their own America’s Cup regatta? Taking one serious step closer to crewing with their male counterparts for the world’s oldest sports trophy?
Maybe she’d say: ‘What took you so long?’

“AMERICA SALUTES QUEEN VICTORIA, AUGUST 22, 1851” by Russ Kramer (American, b. 1960)
The yacht AMERICA, having left the best of the British fleet far in her wake, closes in on the finish line in a match race around the Isle of Wight which would become known as the first “America’s Cup.” As the Royal Yacht VICTORIA AND ALBERT falls in alongside, New York Yacht Club Commodore and AMERICA owner John Cox Stevens orders the crew to dip her colors and doff their caps to the royal family in gesture of respect and sportsmanship.

Oh, Waltz Me, Around Again, Tommy, Around, Around, Around
September 28, 1907
The America's Cup holds out alluring arms to Sir Tom Lipton.
The America's cup was the prize for a yachting race, which Lipton had tried for but failed to win multiple times.
