Getting Started in Sailing
Getting Started in Sailing
Whether you’re new to sailing or visiting from another club, getting on the water at WMYC 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.
