Please Note

• If you don’t know your Australian Sailing (AS) Number, you can look it up using the AS Number Finder.  

• DSQ does not issue Australian Sailing Numbers but can assist you in obtaining a temporary SailPass for regattas or special events organised by other sailing clubs. 

• Sailors who wish to accumulate club points or participate in regular official races hosted by local sailing clubs must be full financial members of those clubs. This requirement is separate from DSQ membership. While DSQ provides a Deaf-friendly space and community support, we are not a formal competitive sailing club and do not manage club point systems or official race participation. Sailors seeking to compete regularly or earn points in club racing are encouraged to join their local sailing club as full members.
