Sail Melbourne provides the greater Australian sailing community, in particular youth sailors, with a terrific opportunity to learn and develop into future World Champions. By conducting professionally run regattas, bringing together many of the World’s best sailors, with support programs and coaching, excellent facilities and infrastructure we are helping Australian sailors become even faster, more professional and better experienced to take on the world.

The Sail Melbourne event attracts many of the world best sailors, coaches and officials from across the world and is renowned for its excellent sailing conditions and event management.

The successful bid by the Victorian State Government to host the first race of the ISAF Sailing World Cup at Sail Melbourne for the next three years, further enforces Melbourne credentials as one of the best sailing destinations in the Southern Hemisphere.
