We Are an Inclusive Community

The Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project (SVSP) welcomes current and former serving veterans, their families, and non-veteran supporters. Whether you're joining us on the water or backing us from the shore, you're part of something meaningful.


Fun Facts

Our events, training, and charitable purpose are specifically designed for veterans and their families. Non-veteran supporters are warmly welcomed as volunteers.

Yes, there are free participation options, but becoming a Supporter Member helps sustain what we all enjoy and strengthens our charitable mission.

Join us in making a difference—and enjoy the rewards of supporting a cause you love.

SVSP is a registered ACNC charity—all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible.


Already Have an Australian Sailing Number?

If you’ve sailed before, you may already have an Australian Sailing Number. Use the Returning Member option in RevSport to link your existing profile.

If you don't know your Australian Sailing Number, you can look it up here: Aus Sailing Number Finder . This means you do not need to create a new Australian Sailing profile.
