Windsurfing and Sailing

WINDSURFING & SAILING

The UNSW Windsurfing and Sailing Club provides students with the opportunity to learn or keep up the sport of windsurfing. Whether you're an absolute beginner, or a hardcore wavesailor, the club can cater to your needs.

The club owns a large selection of windsurfing equipment, ranging from Windsurfer One Design beginner boards to the more extreme Bombora slalom boards and Mistral Raceboard. We also have a substantial quiver of modern slalom sails to make sure that you can be out sailing no matter how windy it is!

Equipment:

The windsurfing club will provide you with all sailboarding equipment. All you need is hands, legs and something to join them together.

Venue of Events:

The club usually runs sailing events every two or three weeks around the Sydney area at sites such as Kyeemagh, La Perouse and Narrabeen Lakes. The club also regularly has trips up and down the coast to exotic destinations including Hawks Nest, Jervis Bay and Lake Macquarie.

Social Events

Social events are organised to help members get to know each other, along with being a great way to relax after a hard week at uni. These events include sailing days around Sydney with BBQ's, weekend sailing expeditions and huge gatherings in the twilight hours with windsurfers from the other uni's around Sydney.

Membership Fees:

$20 per year

Racing:

The club provides the best opportunity to start racing by providing equipment, subsidised entry fees and tips and instruction from experienced club members - past members have won the occasional World Title and Olympic Medal - why not benefit from their considerable experience! Even if you sail a short board, One Design racing can improve your board skills and general sailing enjoyment in light winds.

Intervarsity:

The highlight of the University sailing year! Held at a different location every year, it is the pinnacle of racing, where we represent UNSW and attempt to disgrace the teams from the other Uni's around the country with our skillful sailing.
