Reducing social isolation associated to being Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) A crew to sail ⛵️ A community to support
About us
Since 2018, our Saltwater Veterans brand has served as our community esprit de corps toward achieving the common vision - supporting others who, like us (at one time or another) have needed that little help with social re-engagement via the wind-powered, kinetic motion that is sailing. With the support of our sponsors we facilitate free and inclusive sailing for veterans and their families - particularly those that are Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS). With a “crew" of volunteers and sponsors, our community has spread across the nation, has twice competed at overseas regattas (New Zealand and Canada), supports on average 100+ veterans/month in our numerous locations and, we sponsored our first veteran’s led sailing team at Hamilton Island Race Week. The Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project Not-For-Profit serves as our enduring means to pave the way to the future supporting our veterans' sailing community, volunteers and associated activities. In addition, it is a benchmark accomplishment and a key component of longer term vision for our community.

THE ROUND-UP | 2023-24 Since we first hit the water in 2017 we have evolved from a Facebook group to an ACNC-registered charity and an affiliated club of Australian Sailing in 2023. At the end of our first Aus Sailing season, from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, we hosted 76 activities with 689 event registrations and combination of 402 unique club members & Sailpass participants. We sailed in the USA, Newcastle, Jervis Bay, Mooloolaba, Darwin, Gosford, Sydney, Geelong, and Southport. So much gratitude to our volunteers, instructors & skippers, supporters and sponsors! WHAT’S NEW | 2024-25 This season, we aim to support even more veterans with their Australian Sailing registration so they too can get involved in their local sailing opportunities. We have established a number of new Supporters' Offerings. YOUR ACTION | Smash the link to renew your Supporters' status: saltwaterveterans.org

The misuse of the word “Free”. Funded sail training for veterans & their families is more accurate. There are always logistic costs directly associated to SVSP • insurances • boat & tow vehicle fuel • equipment hire • instructor support • maintenance Please support our Vision, Mission & Purpose I hope you can see the Impact of Your Support to what Saltwater Veterans affords our community ⛵️🏴☠️
