Discover Sailing Day

A Discover Sailing Day is a great initiative for all clubs to grow participation and membership. Designed to both attract participants to the club on the day, and to send a strong message to the local community throughout the year that clubs are open and ready to welcome new participants!

Discover Sailing Day is FREE for all affiliated sailing clubs and intended to be FREE for participants. All clubs can run a Discover Sailing Day. You do not need to be an accredited Discover Sailing Centre, although that may add some advantages in using qualified instructors and provided accredited learn to sail programs for your participants to register in to continue and grow their new found love for sailing.

To continue in our commitment to increasing participation in clubs, Australian Sailing have created a step-by-step guide to assist with the planning and delivery of your Discover Sailing Day. Along with marketing templates and social media tiles to assist with the promotion of your event. Australian Sailing’s Club Support team are here to support clubs in the planning and executing their own ‘Discover Sailing Day’ event opening their club to the local community to try sailing.
