OUR BELIEF
ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
Our aim is to provide up to date information on regattas, training and social events, whilst providing a sailing pathway that suits all sailors and their abilities, in all 9er classes.

Our aim is to provide up to date information on regattas, training and social events, whilst providing a sailing pathway and Australian circuit that suits all sailors and their abilities, in all 9er classes.
We have members who represent the views of each state and are passionate about promotion entry level sailing to skiffs as well as supporting high performance sailors at nationals.
