Getting Started in Sailing
Wynnum Manly Sailing Club
Whether you’re new to sailing or visiting from another club, getting on the water at WMSC is easy.
Option 1: You Are a Member of Another Sailing Club
Skippers and crew who are current members of another Australian Sailing–affiliated club may participate in WMSC events.
You must have:
- A current Australian Sailing Number
- Membership in good standing at your home club
Not sure what your Australian Sailing number is? Look it up below.
Option 2: You’re New to Sailing or Visiting (SailPass)
If you are not currently a member of another sailing club, you can participate using SailPass — our introductory membership option.
Introductory members and guest crew must hold a valid Australian Sailing SailPass before participating.
Register for a temporary SailPass
What Is SailPass?
SailPass gives you:
- Casual membership of Australian Sailing
- An Australian Sailing number (if you don’t already have one)
- Eligibility to sail in up to 10 WMSC events within 12 months
Cost: $10–$20 per day, depending on the event
