Help Caleb Perano sail for NZ in Australia!
Raising funds to support Caleb in his journey to Australia with the NZ Optimist Sailing Team.
Lincoln, Canterbury
Caleb has been invited to join the New Zealand International Optimist Dinghy Association Senior Development Team in 2024. This means that Caleb gets to participate in a number of training clinics in Auckland, leading up to representing New Zealand at the Sail NSW Regatta in Australia in October.
Sailing is Caleb's passion and it is his great ambition to one day represent New Zealand at the Olympics. This opportunity marks his first big step on that path and he is very excited. Expected costs are estimated at $10,000 and while the bank of Mum and Dad will play a large role, any support from others towards Caleb's costs will be gratefully received.
Thank you!
