Sailing Summit

Last weekend we held the TAS Sailing Summit at Bellerive Yacht Club. We had an excellent representation of clubs and class associations at this event - thank you to everyone who attended and contributed. The day featured a range of valuable discussions and presentations covering participation strategies, bringing sailing into classrooms through SailLAB, Q&A with Club Leaders, workshops, and the latest updates from Australian Sailing. If you missed the Summit, the presentations are online here.  

Discover Sailing Month

Discover Sailing Month returns this November, and clubs and Discover Sailing Centres are encouraged to start planning their Discover Sailing Days and participation activities now. It’s a great opportunity to showcase your club, welcome new participants and give people a taste of sailing through come-and-try experiences and open days.

To support you, Australian Sailing will soon release a brand-new suite of marketing assets available on Canva including social media tiles, posters and flyers, along with dedicated resources for clubs running SheSails and Sail Our Way events. We’ll also be promoting Discover Sailing Days nationally through our website and social channels, with a focus on events listed in revSPORT to help drive participation to your club.

Keep an eye out for further information on promotional resources and campaign updates, which will be shared in the coming week.
