Discover Sailing Month 2023 - Resources Now Available!
Published Fri 25 Aug 2023
Australian Sailing would like to update clubs about the Discover Sailing marketing resources available including what has been prepared for Discover Sailing Month 2023, ready to utilise for November.
A Discover Sailing Day is a great initiative for all clubs to grow participation and membership. Designed to both attract participants to the club on the day, and to send a strong message to the local community throughout the year that clubs are open and ready to welcome new participants!
Discover Sailing Day is FREE for all affiliated sailing clubs and intended to be FREE for participants. All clubs can run a Discover Sailing Day. You do not need to be an accredited Discover Sailing Centre, although that may add some advantages in using qualified instructors and provided accredited learn to sail programs for your participants to register in to continue and grow their new found love for sailing.
Discover Sailing Guide
To continue in our commitment to increasing participation in clubs, Australian Sailing have created a step-by-step guide to assist with the planning and delivery of your Discover Sailing Day.
