As part of the staffing restructure previously communicated to allow Australian Sailing to deliver on the recently launched Strategic Plan - ‘’Sailing 2032’’ we are delighted to announce Kylie Baker as the newly appointed South Australian General Manager.

Kylie comes from a long line of family sailors and has been heavily involved over a number of years with club and class association committees, including Largs Bay Sailing Club, The International Optimist Dinghy Association of SA and the SA 420 Class Association. Kylie has previously worked as a Shipping and Logistics Manager and has two sons who are active sailors currently in the 420 and iQfoil classes. 

Congratulations to Ian Leeson, who has been appointed National Participation Manager based in South Australia and will continue to support Kylie during her transition.

Kylie is looking forward to working with SA Clubs and Class Associations to support them by getting more people on the water, in more ways, more often, and can be contacted via email at kylie.baker@sailing.org.au or via phone on 0425 511 177.

Please join us at the upcoming 2022 Club Conference on 26th June 2022 at the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.
