Australian Sailing TAS Sailing Summit
Australian Sailing is excited to launch the 2023 Sailing Summits.
All Club and Class Association Flag officers, Presidents, key officials and management are encouraged to attend.
The Sailing Summits bring together Clubs and Classes from across the state and are a great way to engage with the sailing community's decision makers and Australian Sailing.
Hear from industry experts and learn from your peers as they share success stories and best practice ideas that can help develop skills, capacity and further improve your club and class association.
It would be great to have every club in Tasmania represented so that we can help you support your club.
Entry to the Sailing Summit is free however places are limited and registration is required.
When: Saturday 27th May,
Time: 9:00 for a 9:30 start until 17:00, followed by an hour of socialising.

Foundation Coach free online course
If your club has Instructors who are ready to go onto coaching, this is the course for them. It is an AS requirement for all Instructors of Green Fleet and above to be coaches. This free course is the first step to becoming a fully accredited coach.
