Elleje Bernard of Grenada has been invited to compete in the Youth Sailing World Championship at Lake Garda, Italy, in July 2024. Elleje, a student of Westerhall Secondary School, sails with the Woburn Wind Warriors at the Petite Calivigny Yacht Club based at Le Phare Bleu Marina. He is an assistant instructor with the Petite Calivigny Yacht Club and is part of the PANAM Youth Athlete Program administered by Grenada Olympic Committee. He will compete in the Laser (ILCA 6) Class, accompanied by his coach, Noah Bullen.
His participation is made possible by the World Sailing Emerging Nations (WSEN) program, which seeks to help close the performance gap between emerging and developed sailing nations. While WSEN provides partial support, it doesn’t cover the flights and the cost of bringing his coach. The Grenada Sailing Association seeks financial assistance by cash or check made payable to Grenada Sailing Association. Deliver to either of the Island Dreams offices (at Port Louis Marina and Clarkes Court Boatyard).
