Supported Organisations

Australian Sailing has long been committed to supporting relevant charitable or other not-for-profit organisations who share a similar commitment to our stated values. Organisations have been selected as our official partners, aligning with our strategic initiatives:

Environment
Diversity and Inclusion
Safety

In 2023 we are proud to partner with the following:

Clean Up Australia

More than 20 million Aussies have participated in Clean Up Australia activities and events over the past three decades. Over that time Clean Up Australia has evolved to provide practical solutions to help all Australians live more sustainably every day of the year, and emerged as one of the country’s most recognised, credible and trusted environmental charities.

Today our focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated. What was started over thirty years ago, by an "average Australian" who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event.

Of course, Australia's environmental challenges can't be solved in just one day, so Clean Up Australia works with community, government and businesses to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year.

Safety of Life at Sea Trust (SOLAS)

Following the tragic loss of six lives in the 1998 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the CYCA Sydney Hobart Yacht Race Safety of Life at Sea Trusts were established by the Club and a number of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia's then Directors.

The Trusts' objectives are to:

- assist the immediate family of those lost at sea during Australian Sailing sanctioned races
- provide assistance to search and rescue organisations
- foster research and training to improve procedures and equipment for use at sea
