Hanse 345 sailing - you could be sailing one very soon! Mary Bickley
Last chance to win a yacht worth $250,000 and support Sailors with disAbilities. Team Windcraft's yacht raffle in support of Sailors with disAbilities (SWD) closes very soon. The prize is a Hanse 345 yacht worth over $250,000 ready to sail away with 12 months Club Marine insurance.

SWD has taken over 40,000 people with disability or at disadvantage sailing over the past 20 years. Using sailing as a tool, SWD regularly acts as a catalyst for change where individuals develop a more optimistic outlook and enjoy personal growth and improved life outcomes.

Round the world sailor Jessica Watson OAM is fully behind the campaign saying:

'l love the fact that everyone can enjoy sailing on an equal playing field, whether they’re male or female, young or old, able bodied or not. I am always inspired to see Sailors with disAbilities on the harbour participating in the joys of sailing.'



A $100 ticket gives two children with disability a day out on a yacht. There are only 1000 tickets left, on sale at $100 - closing date this Sunday 31st August.
