Josh
Junior -
skipper
Hi, my name is josh. I
started sailing, way back in the day with my
dad in the sunburst. I have enjoyed
success's sailing the Opti, P class, 420
briefly, and for the past few years the
laser. The laser is what I sail almost all
the time. I also do a bit of match racing.
Match racing is very enjoyable and
compliments the laser sailing quite well, I
think. I want to step up our match racing,
by winning most of this year's Australasian
match racing circuit, and then, next session
head over to Europe to compete in the some
bigger regattas, and hopefully win a grade
1. I would like to see Wellington Match become the
best, world number 1.

Matthew
Steven - Mainsheet
My name is Matt Steven, I
started sailing at age 10 and started racing
at 12. I did the normal Opti, P and Starling
progression through the junior classes and
then moved into the lasers where I have had
the chance to travel to Australia and Canada
to compete in international events. I
currently sail lasers and OK’s as well as
match racing with Josh and Chris. In terms
of my single handed sailing, at the moment I
am working towards an OK dinghy campaign for
the 2010 World Champs in Wellington after
winning the junior world champ title in 2008. With match racing I want our team
to take it as far as we can, i.e. be the
best team in the world. I mostly sail as
mainsheet hand but I am also skippering some
of the regattas that Wellington Match
compete in, including winning the 2008 New Zealand youth
match racing nationals.
