The 470 Internationale runs a range of programmes to support the development of 470 sailing around the world and to improve the ability of sailors. Some of the programmes offer financial support and others are to provide high quality coaching and training at low cost.

for those starting out in their 470 sailing career

470 Performance Programme the 470 Performance Programme is committed to financially support young talented athletes who are competing at the top level in the 470 Class and have an ultimate aim of competing at the Olympic Games - LAUNCHING 2015/2016

470 and 420 Joint Programmes for nations where sailing is emerging or less active: encourage sailors to participate in Class Championships, improve coaching levels and support the provision of equipment
André Cornu Grant EUR1000 grant to each of the winnning crews of the boys and girls double-handed dinghy event at the ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship.
470 Junior Support Programme Free entry fees to one of the 470 Championships for the following season to each of the youngest women crew and youngest men crew (combined age of skipper and crew) competing in the 2013 470 Junior World Championships (under 22 years of age) who qualify to the Gold Fleet final series.
420 Support Programme Because we want the best sailors to sail the 470, and supporting the natural transition from the 420 to the 470 we have decided to extend our support by offering free entry fees to the top three girls and boys teams at the 2012 420 World Championships in Austria to either the 2013 470 Junior World Championships or the 2013 470 Junior European Championships. If only one of the crew members competes, then the entry fee contribution will be 50%.
"You Can Help" Programme You can donate to this project in which we collect second hand equipment in good condition from sailors that no longer use it and give it to sailors from emerging sailing nations.
