Discover Sailing Day 2021
Every year clubs across the country are invited to participate in the ‘Discover Sailing Day’ initiative to open up sailing to your local community. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic Australian Sailing will not promote a National Discover Sailing Day campaign in 2021. We will however provide clubs with all of the usual templates and the Discover Sailing Day finder on the Australian Sailing website to run Discover Sailing Day events where appropriate in accordance with local COVID-19 guidelines.

Why should my club participate?
Holding a ‘Discover Sailing Day’ opens up your club and the sport to the local community to experience how great sailing is. It is also a great opportunity to showcase your club and the services you provide and benefits of becoming a member. For those clubs in lockdown planning out a Discover Sailing Day for when restrictions allow it can be a great way to boost getting people back at the club and enrolling in programs.
Marketing Resources - To help your club with preparations to get as many potential new members along we have developed a guide and Marketing resource kit that can be found via this link.
