Congratulations

• Yacht Club of the Year 2005-6

Congratulations on an excellent night Friday. I
think it was a terrific opportunity to recognise
everyone's achievements, particularly those who
volunteer and to a club like Albert Sailing Club,
who are the essence of what VicHealth is
supporting with respect to being welcoming and
inclusive. (Shelley Maher Vic Health)  
5
The future of yachting in Victoria

• Current Position
• Actual perceived participation is middle
  aged, middle class, males (except juniors)
• Anachronistic, exclusive fragmented clubs
  perception ?
• Club membership growing with population but low
  overall
• Youth junior participation not growing
• An Event State

• Trends
• Increase population especially in coastal areas
  our demographic
• Social participation growing faster than
  competitive sailing?
• Increased competition for youth juniors
  involvement
• Increased demands of volunteers

Comments ? Feedback ? Others ?

Enabling Objectives

• Increase our capacity to deliver major events
  through the development of Race Officers
• Increase the performance of Victorian sailors
  through the development of Club Class Coaches
• Increase participation through the development of
  Instructors for training of the community
  increasing community access and benefit

11
Why ? Reason 1 Participation

• Participation in sailing boating at clubs is
  keeping up with population growth and boat
  registrations
• Youth Participation fell last year
• Clubs are poorly utilized we have plenty of
  assets in terms of building boats albeit
  aging, but a shortage of instructors
• Clubs can be the vehicle for community boating
  education
• Participation programs build community
  involvement and membership

12
Why ? Reason 2 Public Benefit

• The environment is changing clubs needs to have
  plans policies that mirror the contemporary
  world duty of care
• The government and public still see sailing as a
  traditional bastion of middle aged, middle class
  males ( thats the reality)
• Clubs need to demonstrate public benefit,
• and contemporary approaches

13
Why ? Reason 3 Results Events

• Victoria is an Event based state yachting
  needs to continue to deliver successful major
  events
• The States orientation to events means we have to
  substantially deliver our own athlete development
  programs
• Victoria can be a national centre of excellence
  in official training
• Yachting needs a strong program of
• Officials Coaches development .

14
This is not a program, problem, or project for
Yachting Victoria Inc it is for yachting in
Victoria a community based solution.
