Ocean Crusaders is conducting the Queensland Yachting Participation Survey to gather insights from sailors across all levels—keelboat, sports boat, and multihull divisions. With participation numbers declining, this survey aims to understand the challenges faced by sailors and identify opportunities to enhance the sailing experience. Your feedback will assist clubs in making informed decisions, potentially leading to new event series and a Queensland Yachting Championship that unites major events statewide.

All responses are anonymous, and your honest input is invaluable in revitalising sailing in Queensland. Whether you're a seasoned racer or a weekend cruiser, your perspective matters.

Take the survey at oceancrusaders.org/qld-yachting-survey

NB: Ocean Crusaders is conducting this as an independent organisation with no financial gain, or bias towards any particular club/event. Clubs have been consulted in the creation of this survey. Results will be shared with Yachting Queensland and all clubs at the end of the survey. Survey closes 30 June 2025.
