Women & Girls

Australian Sailing has a target to reach gender parity by 2032 we will look to achieve this by working with clubs and class associations and through the SheSails campaign.

SheSails is designed to recognise all the amazing female contributors to our sport, and to encourage women of all ages to enjoy sailing through organised activities at local sailing clubs.

SheSails aims to:

• Promote and celebrate women and girls’ participation in the sport of sailing.
• Provide new and existing female sailors with the opportunity to enjoy activities at their local sailing club with like-minded people.
• Provide clubs with visual materials and case studies to help grow female participation in recreational and competitive sailing.
• Develop a platform to feature female-focused events and programs across the country.

For more information and cast studies of what various clubs have used to increase participation of women and girls, visit the SheSails website.
