A World Stage for St. Croix Sailors
This summer, STXYSA sailor Serena Sheraw has the opportunity to compete at the 2026 29er World Championship in Kiel, Germany — one of the premier international events for youth skiff sailors.
While Serena is the sailor representing St. Croix at this event, this fundraiser is about more than one regatta and more than one athlete. It is about building a pathway for competitive sailors from St. Croix to train, travel, compete, and grow through opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.
Your donation helps support major competitive opportunities like the 2026 29er Worlds and strengthens the YSA Development Fund, which helps developing sailors on St. Croix access coaching, equipment, travel, regattas, and high-level training experiences.
Why This Matters
For competitive youth sailors, international racing is more than a single event. It is part of a development pathway that builds skill, discipline, leadership, and opportunity.
