Following the success of the 2023 and 2024 Solidarity Programs at Georges River Sailing Club in NSW and Adelaide Sailing Club, ILCA Australia has continued the program for 2025. The program will see selection of 10 ILCA 4 female sailors, being one from each Australian District (excluding the NT), one from New Zealand, and three female sailors from Oceania small islands.

The program will provide free entry for the regatta and functions, a supplied boat, merchandise, a coach and more importantly, entry to a team of like-minded female sailors for the duration of the championships. The successful applicant will need to make their own travel arrangements to/from Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.
