Australian Sailing SA Sailing Summit
Thank you for attending the South Australian Sailing Summit on Sunday, April 30th, 2023, at the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron.
We were delighted to have representatives from 10 SA Clubs and 5 SA Class Associations in attendance, and it was a successful day enjoyed by all.
During the summit, Australian Sailing CEO Ben Houston introduced several exciting new initiatives, including the Club and Class Hub, Game Plan, Pulse Survey, and Online Case Study Submission Form, which are now available for clubs and class associations.

TRAINING IN FOCUS ‘LIVE’ – Sunday 24th September at Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia
The 2023 Training in Focus - Live events (Replacing Instructor Conference) will provide a great opportunity for Instructors, Discover Sailing Centre Principles and Training administrators to receive hands-on learning via workshops, practical on water activities, the opportunity to try a new discipline such as windsurfing, SUPs or Foiling and of course, plenty of time to share ideas and best practice amongst peers.
Accredited Instructors who attend the Training in Focus – Live events this year, will automatically have their qualifications extended for a further 12 months, assisting to further removing the barriers to reaccreditation.
