ACT Home

The NSW & ACT region is home to one of the largest and most active sailing communities, with over 120 sailing clubs and Discover Sailing Centres providing a broad range of activities and events for people of all ages and ability. 

Australian Sailing is proud to support clubs, volunteers, officials and sailors. On these pages you will find NSW and ACT specific information along with links to Australian Sailing’s broader information and resources.  

The Australian Capital Territory community includes 3 Clubs and 4 Discover Sailing Centres, where participants can learn to perfect skills in big or small boats at any age by participating in a nationally accredited and supported program.  

NSW & ACT is home to many state, national and world championships, and many of our clubs have great experience in organising and hosting these events. You can see these events posted on our NSW & ACT events calendar below.  

Each year, Australian Sailing NSW & ACT co-ordinates and delivers training courses to accredit new Instructors, Coaches, and Officials. A limited number of courses can be held each year, so we recommend planning and enrolling early. If your club would like to host an Instructor, Coach, or Officials course, please get in touch with our team.  

Several events take place each year, supported by our team. Some of these include Sailing Summits, Youth Sail NSW, the NSW & ACT Sailing Awards to recognise outstanding achievements and contributors to our sailing community, Training in Focus – LIVE for Instructors and Officials development, and Sail Sydney.  

The ACT Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) is established to represent NSW clubs, which replaced the function previously performed by the YACT board. The RAC representatives engage with and provide feedback from member clubs, and advocate and promote sailing and Australian Sailing. 

You can see the latest news and updates from Australian Sailing on our ACT news page, and by following us on Facebook & Instagram. Clubs and Class Associations are encouraged to share event information and reports to us via the ACT News page.   

The Australian Sailing NSW & ACT team has a broad range of skills and are here to help with any questions you may have. Please contact our staff below.
