Australian Sailing is thrilled to announce that applications for the Whitworths Tackers Boat Scheme are now open.

This initiative aims to grow participation in sailing by financially assisting Discover Sailing Centres to buy Tackers vessels thanks to our program partners Whitworths and OziOpti.

Through the program, Whitworths will sponsor 50% of the Tackers boat price with OziOpti granting a further 15% discount. As a result, successful Discover Sailing Centres will have the opportunity to acquire Tackers boats at a total price of $1,271.87 (GST and shipping excluded) per vessel.

All Tackers boats will have the Whitworths logo imposed on the sail.

Boats available for purchase are limited and the following criteria will be taken into consideration when reviewing applications:

• Strategies to market and promote the Tackers program
• The projected increase in participant numbers
• Confirmed sailing pathway within the club
• Previously supplied loans within the state of application
• Location in relation to a Whitworths store

Applications close on 13th May 2022.
