How to Start Your Sailing Journey Today

Are you interested in sailing but don’t know where to start? Been wanting to get involved but not sure who to contact? There’s no better time to start your sailing journey, with clubs around Australia waiting to welcome you into their local communities.

Sailing is a fun, safe, accessible and affordable sport that welcomes participation from people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities. There are many different ways to get started in sailing, with clubs and class associations offering a range of opportunities for you to develop your skills, experience and confidence.

The Discover Sailing website is the gateway to beginning your journey. Here you will find the locations of our Discover Sailing Centres around the country. Discover Sailing Centres run learn to sail courses across a range of disciplines, and they supply all the equipment you will need at an accessible price.

Discover Sailing Programs include courses for kids (Tackers) and teens (OutThere Sailing), as well as those looking to learn to sail a small boat (Dinghys), big boat (Keelboats), Powerboats and Windsurfers.

From sailing for kids to Big Boat Sailing for adults, Discover Sailing has information and programs for the whole family.
