Scarlett Hadley, fresh from representing St Vincent and the Grenadines at the Pan Am Games in Chile earlier this month, will attend the World Sailing Youth Championships, set for Buzios, Brazil next month.

This is the first time a sailor from SVG has been selected to compete in this event, against the best young sailors from all over the World.

The 16-year-old Hadley is part of the World Sailing Emerging Nations Squad and will spend the first week training with young sailors from other emerging nations.

She has been part of the World Sailing Emerging Nations Program (ENP) since 2020.
