470 and 420 sailors have the opportunity to help Frankie Lardies and Finn Drummond, who won silver at the 420 World Championships in Italy in August. The pair, now in the Olympic class 470, are chasing sponsorship from Toyota, and a simple on line vote from you could help them secure the support.

Every two months Toyota has a new http://www.believe.co.nz/node/101!Believe_Scholarship up for grabs. Scholarship recipients are provided with a maximum of $3,000 per scholarship to give them a head start with getting a project (idea, endeavour) off the ground.

'We have just finished the last season with a highlight at the Open 420 World Championships in Italy with a silver medal,' says Frankie and Finn. 'We were racing in a fleet of 121 boats and it was very satisfying to be able to compete at a world class level. We are thrilled by this result and would like to continue in the Olympic 470 class. The scholarship would be put to good use by going towards competing on the European circuit next year, and helping us in our quest to the Olympics… We feel with Toyotas help, we will be able to achieve our goals and realize our full potential'.

Toyota’s web site visitors who will choose who should receive the Believe Scholarship. The successful recipient will be the person who has the most votes from the Believe Scholarship voting page at the end the two month voting period.
