Australian Sailing is proud to announce the launch of the new Spirit of S.A.I.L.I.N.G. Award, a values-based recognition program that will be presented at all Zhik Youth Sail events.
The Spirit of S.A.I.L.I.N.G. Award celebrates youth sailors who demonstrate outstanding character both on and off the water, recognising not just how they race, but how they treat others, respond to challenges, and contribute to the sailing community. This year we thank our long standing sponsor in Ronstan for providing their Clearstart watches as prizes across the events. More information about the award can be found here. There will be posters dispayed at the event with a QR code linked to the voting form.
