New Zealand sailing coach Rosie Chapman (R) gives advice to Laser Radial sailor Sophia Morgan out on Auckland s harbour.
Rosie Chapman is succeeding in her mission to get more Kiwi girls sailing, she tells Suzanne McFadden, in the first of a series on female coaches and leaders making a difference in high performance sport. It’s fitting that one of Rosie Chapman’s first boats was a dinghy called Trial and Error. She admits that’s exactly the path she took early in her sailing journey. She obviously got it right, going on to sail for Great Britain in the women’s 470, and now coaching the top Kiwi yachtswomen in the Laser Radial class.

It was an exciting day at the finals of the Barfoot and Thompson Stand Up Paddleboarding Nationals, with over 80 athletes registered.The third day in a row of blue sky and light wind, ideal conditions for this competition. Today the technical races were scheduled, which started with a round of heats this morning for both the men and woman and finished off with the finals this afternoon.
The course was just off Takapuna beach, which included a chicane, meaning the athletes have to run around a mark on the beach with their board before running back into the water for another lap. This made great viewing for the crowd that gathered to check it out.
