SheSails - International Womens Day 2020

Published Tue 18 Feb 2020

Australian Sailing has developed a range of SheSails artworks for clubs to utilise to showcase their support or to host an event in the lead up to / on International Women's Day, Sunday 8th March:

Event ideas for clubs include:

  • Hold a SheSails Discover Sailing Day event for Women’s / Girls in their local community to try sailing on International Women’s Day (Sunday 8th March)
  • Offer free Twilight Sailing to women and girls near International Women’s day
  • Clubs that already offer OutThere Sailing may consider running a girls OutThere event. This could include having a female instructor or running a She Sails X OutThere Sailing experience to encourage girls who have never tried sailing before to get involved in a positive, social environment.
  • Host an afternoon tea/ luncheon or breakfast celebrating the women volunteers/ sailors in the club and what the club is doing to promote a gender equal world
  • Take an inventory of the many roles women play in your club and highlight in club newsletters/ social media
  • Highlight your local hero (woman or man) that is helping to promote gender equality in sailing


Poster and social media artworks can now be found on the SheSails Marketing toolkit here and stay tuned as Australian Sailing continues to celebrate female participation in the sport of sailing at @SheSailsAus
