Thank you to all members and clubs who took the time to nominate their members for an award. The Regional Advisory Committee has now finalised their voting and winners will be announced towards the end of September. There will not be an Awards Presentation function this year, awards will be presented on line.

SheSails

SheSails is designed to recognise all the amazing female contributors to our sport, and to encourage women of all ages to enjoy sailing through organised activities at your local sailing club. In VIC we have a wonderful network of SheSails Representatives from a handful of clubs that meet to network and work together to promote women in our sport. If you have a club or board member championing this at your club, we would love them to be part of the group! Contact Sue for more information Sue.phillips@sailing.org.au

The inaugural World Sailing Women’s Sailing Festival “Steer the Course” will be held from 1^st – 10^th October. We would love your club to be included. Please contact Sue for more information or see more information here
