VIC Home 

The Victorian region is home to one of the largest and most active sailing communities, with over 90 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 this page you will find VIC-specific information along with links to Australian Sailing’s broader information and resources.
 
The Victorian community includes 90 clubs from as far west as Portland, as far east as Metung, and as far north as Albury-Wodonga. We have over 40 Discover Sailing Centre’s across the state, where participants can learn and perfect skills in big or small boats at any age by enrolling in nationally accredited and supported programs.
 
Victoria 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 VIC events calendar below.
 
Each year, Australian Sailing VIC co-ordinates and delivers training courses to accredit new Instructors, Coaches, and Officials. Courses for Instructors, Coaches and Officials generally take place between March and September, outside of the peak sailing season. A limited number of courses can be held each year, so we recommend planning and enrolling early.
 
Several events take place each year, supported by our team. These include Sailing Summits for Club & Class Association officials, Zhik Youth Sail VIC, the VIC Sailing Awards, Training in Focus LIVE for Instructors, Officials Workshops, and Sail Melbourne.
 
You can see the latest news and updates from Australian Sailing on our VIC news page, and by following us on Facebook . Clubs and Class Associations are encouraged to share event information and reports to us via the VIC Sailing News page.
 
The Australian Sailing VIC team has a broad range of skills and are here to help with any questions you may have. Please contact our staff below.
