Sailability Illawarra

After a `Come And Try` day in 1997, it was decided that a Sailability branch should be started in the Illawarra region. The new Committee immediately began a funding drive, contacting local companies, service organisations and fundraising groups to pay for our own Access 2.3 Dinghies.

We now operate a fleet of HANSA 303's and 2.3's supported by our safety boat. We have hosted the HANSA NSW State Titles, and in 2017 the first ever Southern Cross Championships. Click here to find out more
