Racing

Tomorrow's
Champions

Sail+ Racing is a mixed group of elite athletes focused on competing at world championship-level events and closing the gap from youth to professional sailing.  

With over 40+ years of combined experience, our athletes have achieved multiple podium results at state, national, international and world championship events.

Our Mission

In Australia, more than 45% of youth sailors leave our sport after graduating high school. The lack of a clear pathway to professional sailing, limited support and high financial costs are some of the reasons sailors are forced to leave.

Sail+ Racing’s mission is to retain sailors by creating a sustainable and inclusive pathway for sailors aspiring to professional sailing.
