Australian Sailing Number

An Australian Sailing (AS) Number is your unique identifier in the sport of Sailing in Australia that recognises you as a member of an affiliated club. Once you are registered in the system, you are generated:

  • An Australian Sailing number
  • A system username (first initial)(last name)(and maybe a 1, 2, 3, ...) such as jblow2
  • An online profile

A key benefit of your AS number is that if you enter a regatta, enrol for a course or join a new club you identify yourself to Australian Sailing (with your userid and password), which brings up the relevant parts of your online profile. You then only have to complete any questions specific to the event.

If you enrol in a course, sign up for Sail Pass or join a club you will be assigned an Australian Sailing number. If you want to do any of these things and think you may already have an AS number check here.

 

Family Memberships

A family membership requires at least three members, including one Junior.
Family categories include:

  • Paying Parent (full fee)

  • Non-paying Adult

  • Non-paying Junior

To link accounts, you’ll need the Paying Parent’s AS Number during registration.

Managing Your Family

Using RevolutioniseSPORTS, a primary family member can manage linked accounts—helpful for overseeing payments and activity for other family members. To enable this feature, contact us at: sailing.club@ymca.org.au

 

Sail Pass

When you sign up for Sail Pass you can choose up to 4 or 6 Saturdays. With a fee of $16 per Saturday that is up to $64 or $96. Note that our Race Fee for casual sailors is $20 per Saturday. If you choose to become a permenant member of the Club whatever you have paid will be credited towards the cost of your permanent membership. If you decide to purchase say 2 Saturdays you must either join the Club as a permenant member or pay Race Fees for any subsequent Saturday.

Some Saturdays may be blocked. There is no Club racing on these Saturdays.

Sailpass does not count for Tuesday twilight learner races.
