With the Sailing Season in full swing, we are all busy implementing programs, running races, and generally living sailing. This is the perfect time to get in contact with Australian Sailing to see how we can support you.

At the recent Australian Sailing Awards at the Maritime Museum in Sydney, South Australia was proud to be well represented by our national finalists Sarah Cooper (Volunteer of the Year), Brett Yardley (Sports Professional Award), Madeline Salter (Coach of the Year), Cruising Yacht Club of SA (Club of the Year Cat A) SheSails Award (SAWKR Committee) Sport Promotion Award (Dockside Festival). 

Congratulations to all finalists, and we are pleased to announce the National Winner in the Australian Sailing Awards, Sarah Cooper from Henley Sailing Club, as Volunteer of the Year and celebrate South Australian David Tillet being inducted as a life member of Australian Sailing. Thank you to all the people who travelled interstate and helped celebrate sailing in Australia.

Game Plan for Clubs - GAME PLAN is a self-assessment tool for clubs and class associations to review all aspects of your organisation and provide an improvement plan with links to resources and templates. Game Plan is provided in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission. This is a great place to start if your club is looking forward to new opportunities. It is neatly set out in areas so that one person doesn’t have to complete the whole program.
