RSYS SailPass

Any sailor participating in a RSYS race series (e.g. Tuesday twilight, Saturday racing) that is not a current financial member of an Australian Sailing affiliated sailing club must apply for a RSYS SailPass.

This includes children and other guests who are on the boat during a RSYS race.

Under the Australian Sailing prescription for rule 46 of the Racing Rules of Sailing

“All persons on board a boat while racing shall be members of a Club affiliated to Australian Sailing and have an Australian Sailing number, or hold a valid Sail Pass, or if an international competitor, be a member of a club affiliated to a World Sailing recognised Member National Authority. ”

Failure to meet this requirement may result in your yacht’s disqualification from the race/s you have participated in.

As the Organising Authority of all Club racing, RSYS has a duty of care to both our Members and their guests. Collecting race participants basic information, including emergency contact details, allows our staff to fulfil this duty.

Please note that under the Racing Rules of Sailing Rule 3, ‘the responsibility for the boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue to race is hers alone.’ By participating in any RSYS event, each participant agrees and acknowledges that sailing is a potentially dangerous activity with inherent risks.

Once you have registered for an RSYS SailPass, add your Australian Sailing number to your SailSys crew account. This will ensure that your SailPass is connected to each race you will participate in and that you meet the full requirements of RRS Rule 46.

RSYS currently offers SailPasses for the following periods:

• RSYS SailPass – Summer A (September 2021 – January 2022)
• RSYS SailPass – Summer B (January – April 2022)

Your SailPass is only valid for race series within the period you selected. If you wish to participate in a race series outside of this period you can register for another SailPass.

RSYS SailPass holders are covered by the Australian Sailing personal injury insurance policy, whilst sailing within the selected period.
