Australian Sailing launches SailPASS

Published Fri 18 Oct 2019

If you thought sailing was expensive and inaccessible… think again!


SailPASS is a flexible and affordable day pass that allows you to discover sailing. It gives you the opportunity to try sailing a number of times, plus it allows you to get the feel for a club before doing a course or becoming a club member.


It is a fantastic way to have a great day out and learn new skills with your friends, family or work colleagues, while enjoying the lifestyle and amazing locations provided by a sailing club near you. Simply purchase your SailPASS online via your local participating club at: discoversailing.org.au/sailpass


This exciting new initiative also delivers plenty of benefits to Australian Sailing clubs by:
•    Offering quick, easy and affordable access to sailing 
•    Reducing administration burden on volunteers and clubs allowing people to sign up easily online
•    Improving safety so clubs know who is out on the water at all times 
•    Introducing new people to sailing and with the aim of getting them to become club members 

SailPASS has been very successful across early adopting clubs who have experienced great membership growth as a result. SailPass users of these clubs have particularly loved the ability to sign up via their computer and mobile phones.


Australian Sailing would like to thank VicHealth - the program funding partner - who values SailPass as a way to get people active.


Dr Sandro Demaio, VicHealth CEO says “VicHealth is proud to support innovative sport and recreation programs like Sail Pass, which promote good health and physical activity, a sense of wellbeing and social connection for the whole community, regardless of background, gender, age or ability.”
