JBSC has successfully delivered a 4 day RS Sailboard National Championships on the beautiful waters of Jervis Bay, with 11 races completed for the series.
With the assistance of many club volunteers, you always know it's been a great regatta delivery when world class sailors come to you (including an Olympic qualifier team member) at the end and congratulate the club on a great regatta.
The club is very grateful for the time given by volunteers in Merv, Richard, John, Dave, David, Bill, Di, Blue, Rob and Mike fearlessly led by PRO Mark.

MEMBERSHIP:

SAILPASS - Non-members can apply for temporary membership with JBSC to get a Sail Pass, usually for a day.

SailPass is a temporary membership class that enables crew to join JBSC for a day. Sail Pass provides applicants with an Australian Sailing Number and personal accident insurance cover and meets the requirements of Rule 46 of the Racing Rules of Sailing 2021 - 2024 for skippers and crew. It also covers non-sailing crew on the start boat and those who assist the club as Covid-19 marshalls and helpers in other ways. All participants at JBSC, on every day, must have current membership or a Sail Pass, and a current Australian Sailing Number.
