Important Disclaimer

SailingClubs.com.au is an independent directory and educational guide. It is designed to help you ask better questions and find relevant clubs and official resources. Its advice, summaries and club information can be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Do not treat anything on this website as a substitute for current official information, qualified instruction or your own judgement.

Verify before you act#

Club programs, fees, calendars, facilities, access arrangements, contacts and eligibility rules can change without notice. Confirm important details directly with the club before travelling, paying, entering an event or relying on a service. A listing is not an endorsement, accreditation or guarantee that a club is operating a particular activity today.

For navigation, weather, emergencies, safety equipment, local hazards and legal requirements, use the relevant government agency, race documents, notices to mariners, current charts and qualified local advice. Never rely on this site alone to make a safety-critical decision.

Not professional or safety advice#

The content is general information, not legal, financial, medical, maritime, engineering, coaching or professional advice. Sailing involves changing weather, water, equipment and human factors. Conditions suitable for one person or boat may be unsafe for another.

Australian Sailing and World Sailing rules, prescriptions and safety regulations can be amended. Event-specific Notices of Race and Sailing Instructions may also change the rules that apply. Check the current documents for the event and jurisdiction.

Emergencies#

In an emergency in Australia, call 000. Use the appropriate marine distress channel and follow the directions of emergency services. This website does not monitor messages in real time and must not be used to request urgent assistance.

Third-party websites and images#

SailingClubs.com.au does not control those websites and cannot guarantee their availability or accuracy. Club imagery supplied through YouSail may change independently of this editorial site.
