By the end of its first season, it had changed its name to the Gosford and Brisbane Water Aquatic Club and, in 1941, changed to its current name of Gosford Sailing Club.Gosford Sailing Club has evolved from the Aquatic Club in 1932 with two 16ft skiffs to one which promotes the sport of sailing in all its forms, from junior training boats to ocean going yachts.The club is continually striving to provide the best for its members and guests and, as well as recently completed clubhouse renovations, Gosford Sailing Club is proud to have gained approval for a major expansion to its marina, transforming it into a state-of-the-art facility which will almost treble the club’s berthing capacity.

SAILING HERITAGE

Gosford Sailing Club is proud of its sailing heritage. While priding itself on providing an opportunity to sailors of all levels, our club can rightly call itself the home of champions, with a number of our members having enjoyed notable successes on the world stage.One of the most famous sailors produced by our club is Tom Slingsby. A lifelong member at Gosford, he started sailing with us aged just seven, developing his skills to become one of the best sailors Australia has ever produced.Tom won gold in the Laser class on the waters off Portland, England, at the 2012 Olympic Games, adding that to his earlier five Laser world championship titles.After striking gold he was given the keys to the city by Mayor Laurie Maher in front of hundreds of local people on the grassy lawns outside Gosford Sailing Club.


More recently, Tom has turned his attention to the America’s Cup, forming part of the Oracle Team USA crew that secured one of the most dramatic comeback victories enjoyed in any sport by beating Emirates Team New Zealand in San Francisco in 2013. Tom has signed up again to help defend that title in Bermuda in 2017. Tom also added line honours in the 2016 Sydney to Hobart to his expanding CV.

Among other exceptional sailors Gosford has produced is Darren Senogles, winner of the Sydney to Hobart Race six times on Loki and Wild Oats XI and the youngest ever to compete in the event 25 times, having first taken part as a 14-year-old.Another GSC sailor, Kurt Hansen, won the 29er World Championship in 2014 in Ontario with his crew mate Harry Morton, and has a bright future.Tom Burton is a former junior world champion in the Laser class and claimed silver and bronze medals

respectively at the 2014 and 2015 senior world championships. Top of the ISAF world rankings, he became the second Tom from Gosford Sailing Club to enjoy Olympic gold medal success in the Laser at the 2016 Rio Olympics.David Witt is now Sailing Master on the 100ft super-maxi Scallywag which competes in the most prestigious offshore events around the globe. Formerly he won three World 18ft Skiff Championships, the Whitbread Round the World Race (1997-1998) and the Maxi World Championship.Additionally, there have been national and state successes enjoyed by Gosford Sailing Club members that are simply too numerous to mention individually.Having top-class athletes from your club competing for Olympic and world championship gold is a thrill for everyone at Gosford, not least our younger members. Success breeds success and inspires the next generation of sailors to take to the water.

RACING PROGRAM

Whether a supremely ambitious Olympic hopeful or a relative sailing novice still wet behind the ears, boat owner or not, Gosford Sailing Club can offer you competitive sailing at a level to suit.

The experience of the sailors may differ greatly and their craft may come in all shapes and sizes and from all parts of the financial spectrum, but there is one constant that is guaranteed: the thrill and the exhilaration that comes with racing out on the water.

Competitive racing comes in many forms, from the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race (the club is proud to have multiple winners among its ranks) – which is as adrenaline-fuelled as it gets – right through to the far more laid-back Twilight Sailing that takes place on Wednesday evenings during Daylight Saving. Here, in truth, the post-race beer or glass of wine, clubhouse banter and socialising forms as much a part of the enjoyment as does the racing itself.

The club’s Race Office oversees all racing activities at the GSC. A comprehensive calendar includes Windward/Leeward and Fixed Mark course racing, Offshore, Twilight and Short-handed series, Ladies’ Helm events and Regattas.

The largest fleet for the Senior Saturday racing is for the Laser class, which often sees up to 35 off the beach boats take to the water.

There are separate races for NS14s, A Class Catamarans (sailed by two former Olympians) and a competitive Mixed Fleet which features a variety of craft including Fireballs, 16ft Skiffs and Vee Ess 15ft Skiffs.

The Saturday Keel boats also includes a competitive fleet of 12 regularly sailed Etchells and several sports boats crewed by members of our Learn to Sail program, something unique to Gosford Sailing Club.

Saturday Junior Classes include Sabots, Optimists and F11s.

Fortnightly on Sundays Inshore Yacht Racing takes place for Mixed Keel boats in three divisions. Then our Offshore racing fleet competes on the intervening weekend.

The Youth Sailing Academy program is a new addition to the calendar, running once a week throughout the October-December period. The program is a great way to take your sailing to the next level, while having a great time out on the water with youth sailors of a similar level.

Average fleet sizes for Wednesday Twilights are in excess of 30 boats. This features non-spinnaker yachts, though the final event of the season tends to be a bit of a free-for-all regardless of sail configuration and all rules go out of the window as it presents a last chance for everyone to get out and enjoy one of the real highlights of the Gosford Sailing Club season.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a boat, you can still experience the thrill that comes with racing. Regardless of skill level, there are always plenty of opportunities for people who are interested in sailing to participate as crew members at the Gosford Sailing Club. All you need to do is contact the Race Office to register your interest, get down to the club early on race day, and we will do our best to find you a place on a boat.

For new sailors, the Twilight Series is the best series to ensure a position on a boat and meet skippers, though for those with a little more sailing experience, good crew are always in demand for the more competitive events.

Enthusiasm, reliability and a willingness to learn are arguably three of the most sought-after qualities among beginners. There is no substitute for competitive experience, but new sailors can get a foot up by signing up for a course at our highly-regarded Sailing Academy, which has a wide variety of courses available for those wishing to learn how to sail or improve their current skills.

REGATTAS AND EVENT HOSTING

Gosford Sailing Club is proud of its heritage and has a rich history of offering championship racing to some of the best sailors in the world.The club is highly regarded by those seeking a venue for regattas and major sailing events and has enjoyed an excellent record for many years of hosting world, national and state championships.Over recent seasons the club’s reputation for successfully hosting regattas has grown and now supports a large number of classes by hosting various State and National Championships.Regattas sailed on Brisbane Water for classes include International Etchells, International Fireballs, International A Class Catamarans,15ft Skiffs, National E, Vee Ess, NS14s, MG14s, Moths, Lasers, Sabots, Formula 18 &16 Catamarans, Access Dinghies, Endeavour 24s & 26s, Adams 10s, J24s, Australian Sports Boats, as well as the Laser World Championships (at Terrigal in 2008).This season GSC will become the home of the Australian half and Quarter ton Cup. In February the older but mighty warriors will converge on Brisbane Water to battle for this coveted trophy that has been recently resurrected which will restore glory on these older IOR yachts up to 31feet.

The club has a dedicated and hard-working race management team with considerable experience to draw upon, and it is this professionalism that enables organisers of important events to feel assured that their event is in good hands.Knowledge gained from the many talented Gosford sailors who have competed across the globe as to what works and what competitors appreciate also gives GSC the winning edge as an event host.There are fantastic facilities both in our clubhouse and on the foreshore and Brisbane Water offers everything the competitive sailor could want.The club also hosts its own regattas which prove to be extremely popular among our own sailors and those from neighbouring clubs. These include the Australian Day Regatta in January and in February the Legends Regatta, an event run for the first time in 2018 and which celebrates the lives of some of the Club greatest contributors to the club and sailing.

Or get a group together and get in touch - it’s even more fun learning with family and friends!All instructors are qualified through Australian Sailing and place an equal importance on the safety of the student and enjoyment of the course to create the perfect environment in which to learn.We provide all the equipment, but participants are advised to bring along a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bathing suit, a warm jumper, shoes that can get wet, a water bottle, a change of clothes (minimal wardrobe needed) and a spray jacket.For the mature student wishing to get into sailing, there is the Adult Learn to Sail Keelboat Course, aimed at complete beginners and those looking to refresh their skills. It provides a fun and accessible entry into the sport, allowing students to learn at their own pace and provides participants with further opportunity to improve and develop sailing skills and techniques.


This course consists of a dozen 4-hour on-water sessions including mainsail and headsail trim as well as spinnaker handling, in addition to three theory evenings. Beginner sailors will have a firm grasp of the basics and much more after achieving their Australian Sailing qualification.Follow-up courses are available to build on skills already acquired. For example, the Coastal Navigation Theory Course covers chartwork and delves into the basic plottings on GPS. It’s great being able to sail, but it helps if you know where you are going to!From there, the possibilities are endless, and any sailor will tell you no matter what their level of experience, they never stop learning.Our instructors can be with you every step of the way offering support and helping you advance your sailing skills. We offer a comprehensive training program, from Learn to Sail though to advanced racing and crew placement.For details of the latest courses, please visit the Sailing page of the Club website.

St Philip’s Christian College GosfordA non-denominational Kindergarten to Year 12 College“I remind the children constantly that my hope for them is that they will leave school knowing that they were uniquely created for a life of passion and purpose.

As teachers and parents I believe we must do whatever we can to lead our children along the right path. Our Christian beliefs are foundational in this. It is not enough to focus only on getting good grades. We really need to know our children, their passions and their struggles, how they learn best, and what gets them excited. If we do this well, then learning becomes something that is engaging, exciting and lifelong.

I am blessed to live a life of passion and purpose every day as Principal of St Philip’s Christian College Gosford and I am blessed to do so with a committed and dedicated staff who all love God. We would consider it an honour to educate your children for the whole of their life.”

JUNIOR SAILING

Gosford Sailing Club has a proud tradition of developing young sailors and offering opportunities to juniors whatever the extent of their ambitions, be it as an Olympic hopeful or purely for fun and recreation.The club has continued to support this long-term commitment to the future of the sport with a focus to increase participation of juniors and guide them along a sailing pathway to further develop their sailing skills.Sailing is the perfect recreational or competitive sport for all ages, and there are few better experiences than spending some quality family time out on the water. The club has a dedicated team of Australian Sailing accredited instructors, and a structured training program, providing a great way for kids to get into the water and enjoy the safe, fun and adventurous world of sailing. The wind is typically light to moderate in the mornings and great for learning how to sail.Children are taught all they need to know for a life on the ocean wave, but with the emphasis very much on enjoyment, it proves so much fun they hardly even realise they are learning!


As with our adult sailing courses, all junior courses are recognised and approved by Australian Sailing. These start with the Level One Learn to Sail program, aimed at the absolute beginner or novice sailor, which runs over three days (generally midweek) during the January, April, September and October school holidays.The club has a fleet of RS Feva and Optimist dinghies. Optimists are a single-hander and one of the most popular and strongest small dinghy classes in Australia. At around 2 metres in length and having only one sail and sheet (rope), children soon learn to master the technique of sailing. RS Fevas are two-handed boats and foster teamwork.

Course content for beginners includes topics such as: Wind Direction, Rigging an Optimist, Sailing Skills, Rope Work, Safety, Basic Sailing Rules, Launching and Recovery and Sailing Terminology.More skills can be acquired by enrolling in further follow-on courses and through the experience that comes with simply being out on the water.Having learnt how to sail, children can take as much from the sport as they wish, either sailing for pleasure only, or taking part in competitive events against their peers. Those who show a real aptitude for the sport are given every encouragement to go on and realise their sailing dreams should they wish to pursue competitive sailing at a higher level.Many of our members have gone on to achieve representative honours, and many more compete for Gosford in events across New South Wales and

Australia. It is a thrill and an honour for a junior to represent their state or country, but it is an equally uplifting experience for the club itself.It means that GSC is delivering on its commitment to offer a structured pathway for junior sailors, while at the same time an indication that the future of the club is in safe hands as these keen juniors will become our full adult members, committee men and women, instructors, office holders and commodores in years to come.There are few things more thrilling for senior club members than seeing the young ones being gripped by the same passion for this wonderful sport that many of them experienced as juniors. Tradition is very much a part of Gosford Sailing Club and this love of the sea is passed down from one generation to the next.

Each Saturday during the sailing season the club organises racing for junior sailors who are looking to improve their sailing and racing skills. The classes sailed are Sabots & PJs, both 1 and 2up.Competition is keen, but there is a great camaraderie between the kids, and the older and more experienced sailors always offer a helping hand to their younger counterparts. Friendships are forged, some of which can last a lifetime.There are some fun events in the junior sailing calendar, such as the Christmas party in December and an end of season barbecue in April.For more details about the club’s Junior Learn to Sail program, visit the club website, www.gosfordsailingclub.com, or call (02) 4325 7216.

YOUTH SAILING ACADEMY

Interested in progressing your sailing skills to the next level? Gosford Sailing Club is now offering an exciting new sailing course aimed at Youth Sailors. The course involves a total of 8 on-water sessions in the club’s new Magic 25 sailing boats as well as some theory sessions.The course aims to improve boat handling skills in the larger boats whist increasing your knowledge of sailing with both a symmetrical and a-symmetrical spinnaker. This will include introducing and developing match racing techniques, an overview of nutrition in sport and intermediate dinghy sailing theory.

The Youth sailing program will give you the opportunity to represent our club at regattas all over the state, push yourself to the next level whilst still enjoying your time with similar levelled sailors and life-long friends. Last year the GSC Youth Academy competed in the Interclub-Challenge against Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, winning the championship, and travelled down to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia to take part in a training program organised as part of the GSC Youth Academy training scholarship.

We provide 2-3 Australian Sailing accredited coaches who run the sessions each week. These coaches have competed nationally and can provide guidance in achieving that step-up in your sailing career. Come along, have fun and increase your knowledge and skills in the exciting Magic 25 sailing boats. Sailors must be at least 13 years of age and have completed 3 years minimum of skippering.If you are interested in joining our Youth Sailing Academy please contact Sailing Manager Peter Walsh or go to the Learn to Sail section on the GSC website.



The aim of the Cruising Fleet is to promote the enjoyment and use of yachts and power boats among all members of our club. We do this by organising Cruise in Company events throughout the season, mainly on long weekends (weather permitting) to various local destinations, and enjoy a number of social events. There is also the chance to learn boating, seamanship and navigation skills.Sailing and motor cruising are pastimes offering a freedom like no other, with the opportunity to cast off and go where the mood takes and offering the promise of making new friends across Australia or anywhere around the world.Whether planning your first short trip or that initial long-distance journey, fellow members are there for advice, support and friendship. This group environment is hugely enjoyable and, if travelling with fellow members, offers the reassurance to the inexperienced boatie that someone will be able to help out should things not go as smoothly as planned.Membership is open to skippers, crew members and juniors, and includes membership to Australian Sailing.

CRUISING FLEET
