Dan Slater

Dan first began sailing in his home country of New Zealand at the age of ten. He originally learned to sail in an Optimist class boat, and graduated to the P class two years later. His talent was evident early on as he finished in the top ten in the National Championships. At 14, Dan outgrew the P class and moved into the Starling class. He won every regatta of the season and was the youngest sailor ever to win the National Championships.
