The Shorthanded Sailing Association of Australia (SSAA) is widely recognised as the peak body for this dimension of yachting in Australia. We provide an empowering, competitive, educational and social forum for sailors, uniquely enabling them to sail shorthanded in a community of other like-minded individuals. In doing so, we provide sailors with the opportunity to grow and achieve their personal goals in shorthanded sailing. Within the SSAA, member's goals are diverse and include serious racing aspirations, shorthanded cruising and building seamanship skills.
Other members are interested in purely social aspects of the association, or in contributing to the continued development and acceptance of all forms of shorthanded sailing in Australia and internationally.
