Clubs Encouraged to Boost Visibility

Clubs across Australia are being encouraged to take advantage of the national events calendar on the Australian Sailing website, a simple yet powerful tool designed to increase event visibility and help sailors find opportunities to get involved.

Uploading events to the national calendar ensures they are visible to sailors, volunteers and families across the country, helping to drive participation and support club growth. With more people relying on digital tools to plan their sailing activities, having events listed in one central location makes it easier for communities to discover what’s happening locally and beyond.

One of the key benefits of the calendar is its user-friendly search functionality. Sailors can quickly find events by entering their location and selecting a search radius, allowing them to discover activities happening close to home. They can also search by event type, such as club events, State Championships, National Championships, Match Racing or Discover Sailing Days, making it simple to find opportunities that match their interests.

For clubs, adding an event is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. Events can be uploaded directly through the club’s revSPORT portal, ensuring even smaller clubs can easily showcase their programs to a national audience.

Having events listed on the national calendar also supports better planning across the sailing community. By viewing what other clubs and classes have scheduled, organisers can avoid clashes, coordinate regional activity and create stronger, more collaborative sailing programs.

Most importantly, every event added helps grow the sport. From local Discover Sailing Days to major regattas, the more events visible on the national calendar, the more opportunities there are for sailors of all ages and abilities to get involved.

Clubs are encouraged to make the most of this simple and effective tool by ensuring their upcoming events are uploaded early and kept up to date. A few minutes of effort can make a significant difference in promoting participation, strengthening club engagement and showcasing the vibrant sailing community across Australia.
