Safety

Safety underpins all sailing activities in Australia

The geography and climate of Australia are well suited for sailing, and it is a popular activity offering a healthy lifestyle choice. However, across the country’s waterways, the conditions can vary greatly and can change quickly from a calm day to life threatening. Therefore, safety in all its aspects must feature as a high priority, not just for the sport of sailing itself, but for its volunteers, officials, clubs, and classes and their members.
