Everything you need to deliver great sessions

Australian Sailing Hub brings everything instructors need into one easy-to-use app, making it easier to find practical skills, plan sessions and discover fresh ideas to take straight onto the water.

Instructors can explore easy-to-follow skills across the Discover Sailing Programs, supported by bite-sized videos and animations that demonstrate how each skill is delivered. These can also be shared from a mobile device to a larger screen, creating an even better learning experience for participants.

With practical resources and fresh ideas at your fingertips, you can spend less time searching for content and more time creating fun, engaging experiences that help participants build skills, confidence and a lasting love of sailing.

Learn and develop as an instructor

Australian Sailing Hub isn't just about what to deliver — it also supports instructors with how to deliver it.

The dedicated Learn section provides best-practice resources and practical guidance covering key areas of sailing instruction, safety and effective delivery.

Whether preparing for a session, refreshing knowledge or developing new skills, instructors can access bite-sized learning resources to build their confidence both on and off the water.

Making every session fun and engaging

At the heart of Australian Sailing Hub is a simple goal: helping instructors create positive experiences that build participants' skills, confidence and a lasting connection with sailing.
