The Owners’ Working Group is to link owners of keelboats with Australian Sailing.

Australian Sailing took steps recently to improve Australian Sailing’s engagement with boat owners to canvas opinion and provide guidance on issues of interest to them by forming the Owners’ Working Group.

The Group is initially chaired by Shevaun Bruland, a Director of Australian Sailing, and its membership consists of David Griffith, Noel Cornish AM and Matt Donald in NSW, Bruce Taylor and Jason Close in Vic, Craig Carter in WA, Grant Wharington in QLD and Ed Psaltis in Tas. All members of the Group have demonstrated extensive commitment to the sport and have invested years of their time in keelboat racing.

Whilst not limited to these, issues of immediate interest are rating and measurement rule changes, insurance, participation levels and the format of key championship events. To provide input to the Owners’ Working Group on these issues please email technical@sailing.org.au.
